Some dream

Williams has been working with BAFTA on and off since 2005. There is a lot of difference between photographing the BAFTAs and Williams’ usual stylized shoots, he says, but both work equally well. “I love the balance of my working life because I do stuff like this where all I’m using is my experience, my empathy, the contacts I’ve made over the years, and wit. A lot of the photos come incredibly last minute and very opportunistically. You shoot them very quickly and suddenly. One thing I love about that stuff is being the guy in the room.”
