William Patino grew up in the coastal town of Wollongong, NSW Australia and has been a full-time landscape photographer since 2014. He now resides in the mountainside town of Te Anau, in the South Island of New Zealand. 

"Photography came into my life around 2011 and it has helped me see the world differently, giving me a newfound appreciation for nature and the many intricacies that I once overlooked and perhaps took for granted. My work is based around a deep reverence and awe of nature and the creator, and it’s this that I try and express through my images. My love for dramatic light and atmosphere is a constant inspiration, and I enjoy the endless pursuit of these elusive moments and the freedom found within."
