Billy Liner

If you follow the path you only find what others have found and not your own finds. Once everything was an original then the second time it became a copy. It is good to be original.

Since childhood, Billy Liner dreamed of being an artist. Today, in spite of obstacles, he expresses his creativity through a mix of fine art, commercial, landscape and artistic photography. Billy's use of natural and mixed lighting achieves a mood of the moment that tells the untold stories of memories.

Billy's work can be seen at numerous shows and publications throughout the US.

Billy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and lived 6 years in Atlanta. And is currently based out of Buffalo, South Carolina.

I prefer environmental portrait over the studio. My intention is to illuminate the character, and portray the essence of the models personality, rather than merely a likeness of the physical features. I want the model to be at ease, and be able to express themselves in a candid way. I prefer high saturation and thinking outside the box.

Here are the basics.
I do not pay.
I have a day job.
I shoot on weekends.
I have always dreamed of being an artist.
The work here is only an assortment of what I shoot.
I will not butter you up and tell you how beautiful you are.
I do not care who you bring as long as there are positive.
I shoot for fun and in the hopes I will get know as an artist.

I was hit by a semi truck early in this year. My travel is cut back.

Any other questions just ask.

"Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."Ralph Waldo Emerson
