My full name is William James Wild Hughes. I am a 21-year-old Asian American that was born in Bangkok, Thailand on October 24th, 2000. At the age of one I was adopted by my parents and brought to the States. I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and graduated from Laurel Springs High in the class of 2019.

In 2019 I spent my first year of college at Georgia State University’s Atlanta Campus. Originally, I studied photography as a Film and Media Studies major while at GSU. However, beginning in the Fall of 2020, I transferred to Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. I graduated in the class of March 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Film Production.

I got my first camera when I was 15. It was the Fujifilm X70, just a simple point-and-shoot. I instantly fell in love and have stuck with Fujifilm ever since.

Now, fresh out of college and back in the great city of Atlanta, I’ve decided to turn my passion into a profession.
