About my work
To take a photograph is to capture a moment in time, to show part of a journey or to capture something so beautiful that words can’t even begin to describe. Beyond this a photograph tells a story of something that perhaps has happened or something that is to come. My pictures not only help to tell my story but also help so that you can discover yours. My work includes photography of landscapes, nature, cityscapes, and architecture from different places all over the world. These include many places in the US, Canada, Spain, and Portugal. With these unique places, I would like to help others find the beauty across the globe and in their own backyard. I hope to show that each moment and place has meaning, and to inspire the world with my photography.
About me
My name is Billy Butski, I was born on September 14, 1993. I grew up in Niagara Falls, NY and graduated from University at Buffalo in 2016. I received 2 bachelors degrees, Spanish and International Studies. I currently work at Fedex Trade Networks as a Customs Trade Specialist and at Niagara Falls as a Bilingual Tour Guide (English in Spanish).
My interest in photography dates back to when I was a kid as I loved to take pictures of nature and wildlife. More recently I have expanded my knowledge in photography by learning new techniques and traveling to some amazing places over the years. Also, I held a position as a photographer from 2013-2015 at Niagara Falls State Park and took photography coursers through National Geographic. These helped greatly in expanding my knowledge as a photographer. Currently I sell my work and enter into different photography competitions locally and nationally. I’m always looking for new ways to get the best picture possible and to spread my knowledge to others.
