William Lulow began his lifelong interest in photography when he was eleven years old, making pictures for his school newspaper and yearbook. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, this interest turned into an obsession when William moved to Denver, Colorado and began working for the Denver Post as a stringer. |

Realizing that he needed to be in the center of publishing world, William headed back to his hometown: New York City. In New York he studied with several well-known photographers, including the famous portraitist Philippe Halsman. |

William continued to hone his craft, polishing his printing skills, perfecting his studio lighting techniques and learning more of the business of studio photography, before opening his own studio in 1980. |

Lulow's first studio was on Manhattan's Upper West Side, which he maintained for 8 years before moving downtown to Manhattan's Photo District in 1988. William conducted his business as well as many classes in photography from this studio until the building was sold in 1998. |

Relocating his studio to picturesque Westchester County, just 40 minutes north of NYC, William continues to provide top-notch photographs of people, places, events and things utilizing both digital and traditional imaging. Most recently, his preference has swung over to digital for most advertising and portrait work. The quality, quick turnaround times and ease of use is really "up to the task," he says. But he still uses traditional 4x5 film material for certain assignments. |
