REVIEWS

Shannon Williams is a frequent partner for my coaching firm, XYZ TBD. He delivers without fail and we love being on set with him for our clients. Shannon is extremely talented AND relatable. That can be a rare combination in the creative industry. In my experience, he’s 100% dependable and 0% diva. When we bring him in on a project, he adds to our thinking and always strengthens the work. I expect you’ll discover the same if you have a chance to engage him.

We’ve worked with Shannon for over 15 years and he is by far one of our favorite photographers for model portfolios and actor head shots. He is a true professional, easy to work with and knows exactly what we need for the market we serve. I appreciate his dedication and attention to detail which is depicted in his art.

I’ve collaborated with dozens of professionals, and I can honestly say Shannon ranks among the elite. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with him several times on numerous projects, and never have I been anything less than thrilled. Not only does he have a great eye for detail and composition, but Shannon is a consummate professional and provides clear and helpful direction. His portfolio is also remarkably diverse, demonstrative of his incredible range as a photographer.

In my 15 year career as an entrepreneur, I’ve worked with many photographers. However, no one is like Shannon! He is a true creative. He always brings me different images NO ONE ELSE can get. His lighting techniques are truly unique, and he makes me feel comfortable on set. His professionalism is outstanding and another big bonus is he gets his images to you FAST! Hands down, he is a truly incredible and talented photographer.
