Meet William Good

About Me:

I'm passionate about authenticity, and that passion seems to transcend every aspect of my life, be it family, work, worship, or play.  My journey towards authentic photography began a decade ago when I started down a path of discovery.  I realized an internal desire to pursue a life full of creativity.

Although photography was a minor part of my high school and collegiate experience, never had I imagined professional photography would be on the horizon.  Through a series of fortunate experiences, I had the opportunity to utilize photography to create authentic images for websites and printed promotional materials. That lead to volunteer opportunities for family photography, then wedding photography.

But my journey didn't end with enjoying capturing authentic moments on film/digital media.  It just began there.  Hearing the stories told by many friends and family of poor experiences with their photographers, be it the local portrait studio, the family friend, or the company with the biggest ad in the yellow pages (what are those?), I felt a sense of injustice.  Why should anyone have to suffer a poor experience just for good photos?  What if the photos weren't even that great?  It's those questions, personal desires, and the encouragement of some good friends, which lead to William Good Photography.

 

About My Photography Passion:

Authenticity is my mantra, and I highly covet the opportunity to capture my subjects in moments of vulnerability. In those raw yet rare moments of complete candor does one seemingly enter the world of the unedited subject. And it takes work to get there- time spent with each client without the camera in hand is essential to creating an atmosphere of comfort. But that time is well worth it, for often that naked and soulful interaction produces an image that goes deeper than mere paper. Those authentic moments inspire my work.

Terry Holtsclaw and Amy Gallop | Engagement Shoot
at Creve Coeur Lake / Creve Coeur Park in Maryland Heights, MO

Creve Coeur Lake is one of my favorite St. Louis places to walk/jog, and I've shot family photos there on a number of occassions.  Shooting Terry and Amy's engagement photos at sunset on the lake was incredible!  They're so easy to work with, and I'm looking forward to their October wedding in St. Louis- I think we're going to a very fun day.

Sneak Peak is Now Posted!
