William prides himself on his affable nature and the fact that many often find themselves able to quickly relax and reveal a facet of their personality on set. “In order for the viewer to connect with my subject, I must first do so… Much of what I do lies not in composition and lighting, but in creating a mood in which the photographed forgets about the camera and the lights and just projects self…” Richards’ preference for location work and his love of Jamaica have earned him the distinction as the most prolific Dancehall / reggae album photographer of recent years. Additionally, many fashion and ad agency creatives find the aesthetic he injects into his music industry work a refreshing and innovative alternate to a more commercial approach.
