    William McFarland
    Hey there!

    My name is Will, and I am a videographer, filmmaker and photographer. I graduated from Stetson University with a major in Digital Arts. I have technical certificants in "Digital Media Video Production" and "Digital Video Editing and Post-Production". I have over ten years experience with DSLR photography.

    I place a lot of value in art, collaboration, and education. We're going to build a little environment here in Sanford where students can learn from my experience, but also learn from each other as we experiment, critique and exercise our creativity. See you soon!

    Title or Location: Lake Toblino, Italy
    May 2013 ? after a day spent visiting some friends in the north of Italy, while driving home, I came across a small lake with a tiny island and a castle (Lake Toblino).What made everything even more magical was the mist rising from the water, especially considering it was a warm day. The scene felt almost unreal, as if it belonged somewhere much further north than Italy.I was at the very beginning of my photography journey, with so many things to learn (and still many today).

    Title or Location: Pompano Beach Florida
    March is a great month to find migrating birds such as indigo and painted buntings. Sarasota Florida has several locations where they can be found. On this day I was able to find both at one location. If you?re thinking about traveling to Florida there are so many places to observe wildlife not found in California.
