Photography – It doesn’t always have to tell a story, it doesn’t always have to make sense, but what it cannot lack is emotion. – William Long

About Me :: Mission Statement

Who Am I

I’m a commercial photographer, based in Australia, specialising in the areas of commercial, corporate, industrial and advertising photography. I’m a location photographer, and enjoy travelling to wherever the work takes me.

  • I’m comfortable to work undirected, or as part of a team.
  • I have thirty years professional experience.
  • I can deal with a wide range of people, ages and personalities.
  • I understand that all jobs are different, whether it’s large or small; all are within my capabilities.

Whether you’re an individual, small business or a multi-national company, I will always work hard to ensure that I exceed your expectations.

Every project I undertake, I ensure that:

  • Preproduction phase is fully complete, and little is left to chance.
  • Planning and attention to detail is maintained throughout the shoot.
  • Post production phase continues with the same meticulous process.
  • The job is delivered on time, and you, my client are satisfied with the results.
  • Where required, I will arrive with a full PPE kit and an understanding of induction processes. My highest priority during your photo shoot is Safety. I hold a current General Construction Induction Card.

If you need a commercial photographer in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Cairns, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, NT, South Australia, West Australia, New Zealand, Fuji, Indonesia or indeed, anywhere, contact William Long to discuss your next photographic project.

About Me

Photography is my all consuming life. I love what I do, and I do it with an overwhelming passion.

I’m fortunate to work in a field that both inspires and challenges me. The passion never seems to recede; the challenge never seems to diminish; the diversity always a thrill, a constant path of opportunities and creative solutions. This has enabled me to earn a living at what I love for over twenty five years; working across the globe in UK, Europe, USA, Asia and Australia.

My diverse and innovative approach to my work is a result of a wide and varied professional background. Originally from the UK, I studied both the performing and visual arts, starting my professional life as a performer. A five year involvement in Marketing and Sponsorship followed, eventually focussing my energies on my life long passion – photography. My photographic career began prior to the 1980’s, quickly establishing a niche market in the highly specialised field of performing arts photography in Europe. My work evolved to include a varied range including corporate and commercial photography. 1990’s brought about a permanent move to Australia, forming Longshots Photography; concentrating on the exciting and varied world of Architectural, Corporate, Industrial, Location, Advertising and Studio photography.

Mission Statement

My intention is to make a difference, make an impact, produce a response.

Exceeding expectations and providing a high degree of professionalism and integrity, ensure that my clients keep discovering and enjoying the creative visual result from any situation. Compelling and technically innovative images, along with a high emphasis on professionalism, and careful attention to detail have allowed me to receive a high standard of national and international recognition.

Creative, almost choreographed images, give me the opportunity to express profound emotions, and to make an impact on the viewers mind. Using light and drama from the theatrical perspective, intentionally or subconsciously, influences all of my work.
