The Who
Billy Hunt is a photographer and a videographer. He’s a storyteller, a man about town. Boy is he funny. Or is he being serious? Maybe we call him an illusionist, for he makes being creative look easy and everything seem cool.
“I almost never do sales. I don’t really approach. I try to do things that I think are interesting and put them out there in the world and hope others think they are interesting too.”
The Photography

“My lady and I quit our jobs in ’99 and traveled around the world. That’s when I embraced taking pictures. I hit the ground running and haven’t stopped. I love getting out in the world, meeting people, and seeing strange things.”
Billy has a mix of clients. He says he has the craziest life. He and his camera capture weddings, drag queens, bands, naked people. “Every day is an adventure. It’s nuts and I just try to hang on.”
The Viral Videos
(Powhatan Studios)
A Viral Video is a video commercial that spreads person-to-person through social networks such as Facebook, YouTube, and email. “The videos are getting crazy traction. There is a live component to it. I want it to be interesting. Engage the audience. Something measurable. We are turning traditional advertising on its head. This is the future of marketing.”
The Why OpenSpace
“I heart OpenSpace. I do. I am typically around one or two people in my studio and I know them. Here at OpenSpace I am around more people and I can bounce ideas around. It is like an impromptu focus group. I have found work here multiple times and potential employees as well.”
The What You Might Not Know
“I used to be in a ZZ Top cover band called AA Bottom.”
Now there’s a sharp dressed man.
