William Scobie is an Ottawa based photographer and entertainer at heart. He holds a habitual attraction to capturing people in their natural habitats, in both candid and contrived fashions. He is motivated by an impulsive drive to freeze and document moments of visual storytelling.

William Likes taking photos outdoors especially in unfavourable conditions.  He is constantly on alert, waiting for rare weather systems to incorporate in to his images. There is nothing like a good Canadian snow storm in April to give you just the right lighting for a self portrait.
