Billy Black loves his work. "Photography is all about problem solving. My job is to anticipate everything under my control, and then be ready for that perfect moment when it all comes together."

He is known for his intrepid seamanship and for going that extra mile under the most challenging conditions to get the important shot. He also has the patience, energy and sensitivity to capture the spirit of an exotic location and its people.

Bob Derecktor once called Billy a “professional enthusiast”, and he’s been sharing his enthusiasm about life on the water for 35 years.
