“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust
William North is a fine art photographer residing in Wheaton, Illinois. Photographing classical and historical architectural, he explores the aesthetic elements of a building and their emotional impact rather than their functionality. A common theme of his work is the celebration of beauty and creativity in architectural design. He is particularly drawn to the poetry of cathedral architecture and our response to the hidden presence of God in sacred spaces.
In creating quiet photographs that evoke thoughtfulness and reflection, he seeks to awaken the soul to awareness of the Divine through Beauty, which in turn leads to Goodness and Truth. One often finds in his work an invitation to contemplate the mystery of the Unseen in the seen, the Eternal through the temporal.
William is a graduate of Wheaton College and the College of DuPage Photography Program.
