Willis Art Photography

Welcome to my site! I hope it will explain a little more about me and showcase my skills as a photographer. My photographic tastes are all over the board. From slide reversals to b&w still lifes; sexy cross processed portraiture to double exposures and polaroid transfers, and don't forget wedding photography as well. Most of it with a photojournalistic look as I am a photographer for The Beachcomber Newspaper.

What I  Do

I am a photographer for hire! Portraiture, glamour and weddings are my specialality. I almost always work on location; alothough I have several studios to rent. I also sell fine art photography in a variety of fomats--from matted prints to canvas gallery wraps (all on sale through this site). All images are printed by myself at a professional lab in LB so the prints WILL look great! It's what sets me apart.

My Most Recent Show:

My last First Fridays show was April 4th 2008 at Nino's restaurant on Atlantic in north Long Beach. Nino's address is 3853 Atlantic Ave, LB, Ca  the cross street is Roosevelt on Atlantic south of 91FWY and north of 405FWY                                            Happy hour 3-6pm  Artists reception 6-9pm

I showcased my newest art form, Photo Paintings, with are images printed on canvas then painted over with a special clear coat that when dry looks like paint. I have gotten good response from them, I've even sold one before the show has even started! Please contact me if you need any info.

The images below are in the show but don't do them justice and can't show the detail and brushstrokes used. All images are gallery wrapped canvas prints that are frameless and borderless that enhance the textured canvas. Must be seen to be believed!
