Megan Williams Photography Resume
My name is Megan Williams. I am extremely professional, diligent, punctual, and make all the deadlines I am given. My main goal is to work large events, work great product and content jobs, and put spectacular content out time after time.
Highlights:
Professional photographer for the last 10 years.
I specialize in low-light, venue shots, like concerts, shows, and big events, but love to shoot everything from festivals to parades, to sports, to portraits, food, and inventory.
I have a keen eye for the right shot, and the patience to get it.
