billy hunt

Welcome

My name is Billy Hunt, and I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Charlottesville, Virginia. In addition to producing amazing imagery, I create a relaxed, positive space for my brides, grooms and everyone I photograph. My clients are discerning, thoughtful people, who not only want great imagery, but want to enjoy the experience. I love what I do, and I think that it shows in my work.

This website showcases my weddings, portraits and personal endeavors as an artist. Through it, I hope you can get a sense of who I am. Thanks for visiting and feel free to contact me if you have any questions or feedback.

Thanks,
Billy Hunt

Crescentia at Montfair

July 22nd, 2010

I have been doing a new series of portraits with flowers over peoples eyes. Before this shoot at the lovely Montfair Resort, I was pretty upset because my dog had hurt herself, and I almost didn’t do the it because I was so frazzled. Crescentia helped pull me through, and I am really happy with the images. Thanks Crescentia.

New Fashion-Fine Art Work

June 28th, 2010

I have really been working on my style this year, and wanted to do some new shoots to reflect what I have learned in the past couple of months. In particular, I wanted to bring some of the ideas I have gotten from making movies to my photography shoots, the main one being working with amazing people who can help so I can focus on making good imagery. Thanks to Crescentia for styling, Molly, Shannon, and Camilla for modeling, John for assisting, and huge thanks to Angelo for letting us use their amazing Jewelry. I got my wedding ring there, and have loved that place ever since.

Here is a movie of the shoot and some images. Song is Odessa by Caribou

Let me know what you all think about my new direction.

Tom Perriello lends support to CASA

June 8th, 2010

Piedmont Charlottesville CASA has a new campaign to get more men to volunteer helping children in the court system. Its called Stand Up for a Child, and they are getting prominent politicians to lend their voice to the cause. Congressman Tom Perriello was the first person to get his portrait taken. Please volunteer for CASA if you can. We did it for years, and it was super rewarding.

Baby Landscapes at Cafe Cubano

June 3rd, 2010

I have been working on the “Baby Landscapes” project with William since he was, well, a baby. It is an exploration of the imagination and isolation of childhood, and it is definitely my most personal work to date. Four years later, I think it is time to show it. Please join William and I next Friday, June 4th, from 5-7pm at Cafe Cubano for the opening, or check it out at your leisure during the month of June. Also showing work is Andrew Shurtleff, who will be showing his award winning sports photography. I hope you can make it.

My Advanced Photo Class

May 3rd, 2010

The Advanced Photo Class I taught this past weekend was great. Everyone worked really hard, and took a lot of amazing pictures. We had the opportunity to act as paparazzi for The Bridge’s REVEL fundraiser, which was great practice for people interested in event photography. I think everyone learned a lot about photography, but also, we learned a lot about life. :)

Exquisite Corpse at McGuffey/Featured in The Hook

April 2nd, 2010

Aaron Eichorst, Jocelyn Johnson and I entered a piece into this months Exquisite Corpse show at McGuffey. Well, I am proud to say it was featured in The Hook today. Here is a link to story.

The Hook

I did not post the image on this site because it is slightly not safe for work, especially if your work does not like obfuscated boobs.

For those workplaces that encourage tasteful nudity, Here is a link to the image.

Or, come out to McGuffey this month and check it out for yourself. The first Friday opening is tonight.
