When your dreams don’t intersect with the path you’ve laid out for yourself, what do you do? That’s exactly what happened for Clarence Williams. After pursuing his Bachelor’s then going on to receive his master’s and spending years working for the government and Adidas, he realized that his true passion was photography. Instead of sleeping, he has spent the last several years building his photography business from the ground up. He’s worked on his art while also developing relationships and learning how to run a full-service business. His drive to push forward, keep learning, and steadily improve has helped him to become a much sought after photographer in his local area.
