Bill Christiansen
Photographer

My art form is photography. I photograph still-life, wildlife, and landscapes near my home in Southwest Michigan. When my wife and I travel, I seek out specific locations and plan the images I expect to capture, but often an unexpected shot finds my lens. These chance encounters, courteous of Mother Nature, often provide the most satisfying captures and the most pleasure for those viewing my work. Whether photographing a star-lit night sky, a vivid lightning strike, or an unexpected rainbow, nature continues to provide a never-ending array of choices and inspiration for my work. I post-process intending to convey my vision—what I saw and felt—when I captured the shot.
