My name is William. I’m the founder of Petruzzo Photography. I’m one of our photographers, and am also the studio manager. I’ll be helping you along the way!

Lives:

in Bowie Maryland

Shooting Since:

2004

Favorite Piece of Gear:

Hands down, the trusty 85mm f/1.8.

Favorite Style of Photography:

I like when I can control everything about the shot. But in real life, I love shooting portraits with a single light source.

Favorite Movies & TV Shows:

I don’t watch too many movies, but enjoy TV shows like The Office, Parks & Rec, Bob’s Burgers, Rick & Morty, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead

Favorite Musical Artists:

Big fan of old tunes, especially bad pop, like Pat Benatar, Bonnie Tyler and Meatloaf. I also have a soft spot for transitional country music like Garth Brooks. Otherwise, stuff like the Decembrists, Guggenheim Grotto, Camera Osbcura, Ben Folds.

Biggest Influence:

My dad’s photography has always inspired me to create and find meaning in images, but I get my creative juice from my practice of contemplating the strangeness of existence.

Standard Advice:

“Find a way to do a little every day and eventually it will be done.”
