Will Fields Photography, Grand Rapids

Professional photographer Will Fields's client list reads like a who’s who of Fortune 500 companies: General Electric, Allstate, and Motorola, to name a few. The 30-year photography veteran captures his commercial shots by focusing on three elements—light, gesture, and tonality—to create vivid, evocative images that stay ingrained in one’s memory like the social-security number of a high-school crush. In addition to photo shoots, Will’s studio plays host to private photography lessons and a range of classes whose skill sets build upon each other. Beginners start with basics such as depth of field and composition before learning to shoot on location or set up advanced indoor-lighting schemes. Will schedules outdoor excursions to put these skills into practice, leading groups to scenic waterfalls and avian roosting grounds for one-of-a-kind photo ops.
