Hello.
My name is Bill Persons. I am the photographer, editor, and owner of MVP Images.
Professional photography is my second career. Originally self-taught, I got my professional start shooting sports (baseball, softball, soccer and football), beginning in 2002. Since 2005, I have been privileged to study portrait photography under one of the country’s premier portrait and senior photographers, Ron Kramer of Grand Rapids, Michigan. MVP Images was formed in 2007, and year later I closed the book on three decades of scientific and corporate IT to devote myself exclusively to photography.
Personally, I am a father of two, husband to one, history nerd, rare book collector, Little League coach (ret.) and perennially optimistic Met fan (2011 update: yes, even this year...)
Whether I'm shooting Fine Portraiture, Fashion or Commercial Assignments, I strive to produce images that exhibit elegance and grace, warmth and joy. Let's see what we can create together!
