Jeff Williams has lived in Phoenix, and Flagstaff Arizona for the past several decades, exploring the natural beauty of the Southwest. He is a graduate of Northern Arizona University, and the University of Phoenix, and has worked in banking and other areas of finance for most of his adult life. He discovered his love for photography back in 2002 with a large format camera. He was fortunate to meet several very talented photographers who were happy to share their knowledge with him. In 2010, he was invited on a wildlife photography workshop with the very talented Kathleen Reeder. When he first looked in to the eyes of a precious soul he was photographing, he was hooked, and shifted primarily to wildlife photography. Jeff has travelled much of the world for his photography and he has become an award-winning photographer. He spent part of a summer in South Africa staying in a thatched roof hut to get close to and photograph the wildlife in their natural habitat. He has contributed photographs and articles on wildlife to magazines and has spoken to groups about wildlife photography.
