As a fashion model he has worked with photography greats Richard Avedon, Bruce Weber, Victor Skrebneski, Francesco Scavullo, ......Read MoreAldo Fallai, Arthur Elgort, Pamela Hansen, Barbara Bordnick Steven Meisel, Jean Pagliuso and Patrick DeMarchelier, to name but a few.
On location shoots in Morocco, Greece, Borneo, Iceland, Italy, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tasmania, Peru and Mexico he learned to “see the light” that makes a great
photograph. His belief in the preference of discovery over invention has molded his style. He never missed an opportunity to stay in a country after a fashion shoot to photograph the local people and their culture. He became adept at the “spontaneous” photo portrait and developed a photojournalistic approach to photography.
Having been the subject of editorial photos featured in Gentlemen’s Quarterly, Vogue, Men’s Journal, L’ummo Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Italian Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Glamour magazines, as well as advertising campaigns for Armani, Valentino, YSL Hickey Freeman, Eddie Bauer and Country Road, he learned the production side of the business, organizational skills, communication with art directors and clients and selecting the proper team for the job are important before and during a commercial photo shoot. He is a strong believer in the relationship between the photographer and the subject as being the real secret behind great photographers. The ability to establish a strong rapport with the subject is paramount to successful.
The master photographer Henri Bresson said, “ One has to feel oneself involved in what he frames through the viewfinder. It is putting ones heads, ones eye, and ones heart on the same axis.” Bill Curry strives to fulfill these words in deed and in his photographic journey.  |
