Limited Edition Panorama Series

The "Our Waters" series was created by Raleigh, North Carolina-based fine art and assignment photographer,Jimmy Williams. Originally photographed in 2010, the work examines and celebrates the beauty of America’sprecious shorelines. Williams produced the series in response to the recent oil spill in the Gulf. It is his hope thatthe images will inspire people become aware of the importance of sustaining our wetlands and that coastalpreservation will continue for years to come. Limited edition prints are available for purchase and all proceedssupport Gulf Aid.

Williams studied visual design at North Carolina State University and shortly thereafter opened an independentstudio where he established himself as a successful, award-winning assignment photographer. Now, more thanthirty years later, Williams devotes much of his time to personal photography endeavors by nurturing and maturinghis process to develop significant bodies of work.

"We all benefit from the splendor and resources our waters provide. I am eternally grateful and would like to give back with what I know best: Photography. Our earth has always generously shared its resources with us. Shall we take the time to return the kindness?" - Jimmy Williams
