Throughout his career Bill has inspired and enlightened literally millions of people internationally through his seminars, lectures, television talk shows, conferences, commercial assignments, radio shows, numerous magazine articles, and his own 15 published books.  He has traveled on location to over 170 countries on all seven continents, worked with four US Presidents and photographed over 1200 magazine covers. He has completed countless assignments where he directed crews of models, assistants, art directors, clients and make-up artists to photograph major, well-known advertising campaigns.  Nationally-acclaimed as a "people" shooter, his clients include many of the world’s major advertising agencies, travel companies, cruise ships, magazines, airlines, and Fortune 500 companies.

A native of Pittsburgh, Bill started his photography studies in New York and then London, England before embarking on his free-lance career. He has the experience, AND PERSEVERANCE, to come back with outstanding photographs under the best, or worst, of conditions. Always with a smile!

Renowned as one of the top-five stock photographers in the world, he continues to prolifically produce salable stock images regularly.  With his prestigious array of worldwide stock agencies diligently representing his work, his images are published weekly in most of the developed countries on our planet. His stock file contains business, minorities, lifestyle, world travel, medical, Caribbean, abstracts, beaches, sports, and many other subjects. With over 600,000 images in his collection, he has more pictures than many medium-sized stock agencies. His studio manager, Matthew Jurgens, in Orlando, Florida searches the files for any request. He can send slides, CDs, or digital images quickly. He can also create a custom light-box to meet the most stringent digital deadlines. If you call the studio, you will first probably talk with Matthew.

Bill is equally comfortable in the USA or abroad doing smaller, quicker assignments. His enthusiasm and likable personality are a real bonus on any assignment, from a celebrity shoot to an annual report with the CEO of a company.

Bill is the author of fifteen books. His three newest books are called " Remember The Joy" -- "Images of Woman" and "Send Me Anywhere." The book "Remember The Joy" will help all photographers be more successful and the other two new books are wonderful graphic photography books. Twelve more books are also available. For more information, or to order these books, visit the "Books" slide from the main menu.

Bill completed the most extensive photographic assignment EVER attempted. This 295-day, 72 country shoot took him 214,000 miles (more than 8 times around the world) to photograph all the major monuments and people on earth. Kodak sponsored this grand venture as Bill escapaded the globe. He overcame many obstacles traveling those two years for Kodak .. from a ruptured appendix in Singapore (his doctor spoke only three words of English, "I cut you!"), earthquakes in Egypt, a plane crashing in Amsterdam, food-poisoning in India, his plane going off the runway into the water in Hong Kong, bombings close-by in England and Spain, just to name a few. Yet he returned from these trips with outstanding images. Photographs of these monuments and people are available now in Bill's stock files.

Bill has received many Gold Awards and Addys for his advertising work. He also was named the Advertising Photographer of the Year in the People's Choice Awards, named to Marquis Who's Who In The World, and even voted Photographer of the Year in Asia. Yet, despite all these major awards, Bill seems most comfortable thinking about his BEST assignment .. the NEXT one!

Spend several minutes with Bill Bachmann and you will become aware of his enthusiasm and energy. A rare personality, Bill will bring much to your project.

We look forward to our next project, whether big or small. We can make your job easier by doing all the planning... we can scout locations, cast models, do all the travel arrangements, plan make-up, stylists, etc, for a big project.  Our clients appreciate the fact that we can shoot both stills and television-quality digital video using the same models to save time and money.  Or for smaller jobs, we promise to show up and give you a GREAT attitude in addition to GREAT photos.

Our philosophy is simple... "Let's work together and create colorful, graphic, exciting pictures!"

FLORIDA & THE EARTH is our slogan... what does it mean??  We shoot anywhere on earth, but, since Florida is our home state, we charge NO travel expenses  (no hotel, food, gas, etc.)  for me or my assistant to work anywhere in Florida. That makes us a "local" anywhere in the state. Our ad agencies love this because expenses can add up on shoots.

I hope that we can load our cameras for you!
