William David trained in professional photography in the late 70's. He has not only worked as a freelance in various sectors, but also in the camera and media industries. Lectured and mentored photography, and majored on working with people as key subjects.

after a break from practical freelance work whilst living in Central London he returned to photography in 2008 setting up William David photographic Projects.

This was the first digital rather than film venture - although many of the techniques in lighting and shooting come straight out of the film experience and training.

The original wotk was designed to evenlly shoot girls and boys but it became evident that the boys were being more ignored by photographers, and this meant being a bigger fish in a small pond.

Now William David specialises in working with mainly male performers and artists building up their self confidence and range infront of the camera.

Models are also welcome, and the theatre training techniques for example with expression and instinct hold good providing high levels of confidence whatever the starting point or age range.

The fact that William David warrants no adult work undertaken means that those new to the camera feel safe, and parents can be confident that their children are in a safe environment.

In 2014 William David embarks on a new work, both offline and online. This project is called Pompous Hobbit, and covers areas of youth work and young people missed fromActwill. It also looks at and reports on the injustice of the system for those particulary in care with conditions such as ADHD dyslexia etc and how it can impact on their lifes with poor advancement, drugs and crime. Hobbit will also reflect on the positive side of talented young people today and the groups and organisations that work so hard in this field.

Hobbit reflects work outside photography conducted by William David and his driving force to make a difference for the future.

There is a lot of change currently happening including relocation. This website and that of Pompous Hobbit will include updates as soon as they happen.
