About Bill Lindsey...
My Grandfather was an amateur photographer and liked to make 3D stereoscope viewers to view his three dimensional
photographs. I liked to play with the unusually shaped lenses that he used for his viewers. Bringing them up
close to my eye, I could observe objects placed in front of them and by twisting the lenses from side to side:
I could distort whatever I looked at to suit my imagination. Some of the lenses were spheres that he used to
make his wide-angle cameras. These too provided hours of fascination for me. When I put them up to my eyes
and looked inside at the spectral highlights, I would be visually transformed into another world.
Slowly turning each sphere and imagining myself in these strange worlds of glass. He was a quiet Renaissance man.
He always wanted to build his own cameras that he used in his portraits and scenes that he photographed.
He loved light and especially the way light would skim across surfaces; revealing textures and depth to whatever
it touched. I think I inherited this way of seeing light. My first camera was a Kodak Brownie Holiday.
It used 127-size film and shot with a square format.
My Uncle sent me a film developing kit for my tenth birthday. It was complete with chemicals, paper and a
printing frame to make contact prints. From then on, I was hooked.
Today, I shoot mostly digital for my product work; with a 20-80 mixture of black & white and color.
I love to experiment with different kinds of lenses and seeing things in a different way. (I’m left handed)
to involve myself inside the image, not just look at it. I’m always trying to do some kind of special effects
with my photography. One of my favorite techniques is painting with light. This technique takes a lot of
concentration and time to do it right, so it isn’t something to enter into for the instant gratification type.
Panorama Photography
Have you ever seen a photo that is really wide and seems to take in a sweeping view? Panorama photos are one of
the latest trends in photography thanks to computer software editing programs. Also, thanks to my many years of
professional photography experience I have been able to produce stunning panoramas of landscapes, seascapes; and
wide interiors of buildings for discerning customers.
360 Degree Virtual Presentations
360 degree photographs of rooms, interiors of restaurants, facilities where products are made or any place
where a complete circular view is needed. These are very effective for webpage presentations.
Prospective customers can virtually walk through your facility to see what you have to offer without them ever
leaving their home or office Just by visiting your website with our virtual 360 degree images, the prospective
customer can all you have to offer.
Photo Stitching Software
Photo Stitching (Panorama) Software is very different from one program to the next and quite often the users
result will vary. For the past five years we have been experimenting with several different software programs
and have settled on two different packages. We have mastered the art and science of photo stitching.
My Work Today
My work centers on composition, motion, color, portraiture, and lighting that has both content and context
implications for the viewer. My customers are looking for the new and unusual, rich with form and function.
They are a combination of technical and creative art buyers, directors, editors, and writers looking for an
outlet of usable images at a reasonable price.
