My name is Billy Murray. I am a rogue photographer with a love for all things dark, moody, and badass. I started 6 years ago shooting fighters for a previous web company I owned, and through that found a love for the craft. I love to transform my subjects and bring out their inner badass.
I have been a business owner for a long time and the brand name Hosstyle has specialized in many fields, now I am using it in the photography industry. I have always been creative and loved to capture things in its essence. Wildly, I have no background in photography, no formal training, or previous knowledge in this field, but what drives me is my creative eye and vision. I am hugely inspired and moved by 70s, 80s, and 90s films that are extremely raw, edgy and moody. I am especially keen on movie posters because they portray the entire movie and all of its components in one frame, which is the aim of all of my photoshoots.
Once we have established that I am the right photographer for you and your concept then the fun begins. Best, but most important part of the creative process is coming up with the look, idea, and vision you want to bring to life. The location and wardrobe will be discussed to find out how we can achieve and capture your badass photos.
The creative process involves extensive amounts of time and energy, and it begins before a client has even confirmed. Once a client shows interest, I will begin to brainstorm ways to make them come out of their shell and develop individualized concepts for them. Furthermore, I love to go to antique malls and vintage shops to find props that suit the aesthetic. I use different lenses, lighting, props, and backgrounds to execute my vision and bring the subject to life.
