Will Austin is a Seattle-based photographer specializing in editorial, architectural, location and travel photography. He seeks to capture the beauty and timelessness found in everyday moments.

A transplant from Colorado at age three, Will took his first photography class in junior high and won his first photo contest as a sophomore in high school. He graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in Human Services, also studying industrial design, metalsmithing and architecture. In 1992 Will picked up a camera to document his artwork and found himself back on his original artistic path.

Will's photographic journeys have taken him to Mexico, Brazil, India, Europe, Korea, Canada and across the Western United States. His clients include Northwest Airlines World Traveler Magazine, Seattle Metropolitan Magazine and Northwest Home and Garden, as well as numerous architects, designers and builders (see client list).

Among Will’s favorite pastimes are going on adventures with his wife and six year-old son, and uncovering family lore about his cattle ranching, train-robbing ancestors. He lives in South Seattle with his family.

Will is a member of ASMP.
