A little about Bill Pador

I am a 43 year old freelance photographer born & raised in New Jersey. I enjoy just about every aspect of photography and taking different assignments in various forms from a simple wedding, family events & parties, landscapes, portraits, Commercial & Industrial projects and so on. I also specialize in documenting Legal & Evidence photos for auto & work place accidents with expert testimony having 16+ years of Law Enforcement experience to include patrol, detective, accident investigator and SWAT member as a civilian & military police officer.I spent over 16 years of my adult life as a Police Officer from 1985-2002 until I was seriously Wounded in the Line of duty with a spinal injury that required me to give up my life long dream of being a cop. I have always been an artist in one form or another during my life as a musician, painter & photographer but my passion for photography has always been on top and I am driven by a fire inside me to continue capturing the world around me 1/100th of a second at a time. The art of photography is very special to me and I hope that you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it.Over the years I have continued my education by reading & studying everything I could get my hands on about the art of photography, but more importantly shooting hundreds of thousands of photographs. There's pretty much not a day that goes by even when not on assignment that I don't shoot something or try new innovative techniques to better my craft. As an artist there is nothing that brings you more joy then to see others enjoy your work, that's why we do it. I am driven by the pure thought of having someones emotions being moved by a millisecond in time that has been captured by my skill and artistry. I'm also skilled in General Digital Imaging & Photo Repair and do all my own Digital Dark Room post processing IN HOUSE using all the latest computers & software available. I use the very best materials & labs in the USA and do not outsource anything overseas.I am a Member of the Professional Photographers Association of America and belong to many Professional International photography organizations such a LightStalkers, Photo.net, Nikonians, Photolog and many more where I continue my education on a daily basis to keep up with all the modern trends and equipment. I do all my own Digital Darkroom post processing and artistic creations in house using the finest processing software, computers and techniques available. My work can been seen all over the Internet and I have been published in various media such as newspapers, The American Police Hall of Fame magazine and most recently Internationally in a Photography montage coffee book.Don't just LOOK at photos, STUDY them for a while and then you will begin to see the difference between a photo and the ART of Photography ! My official web site www.billpador.com contains a small portion of my work that can be purchased online along with booking information. I cover NJ-NY-PA-CT as my home territory but I will travel anywhere in the world my clients may need me.Best Regards,Bill Pador
