Greetings,
My name is Bill Dabovich, and I'm an independent photographer specializing in nature/wildlife, macro, and journalistic/candid photography, although, I do enjoy photographing almost any subject. I also do weddings, portraits, sports, products, babies/toddlers, and special events photography. The photos here are primarily digital, however I do have a handful of my best film shots exhibited here as well.
About me:
Right now, I'm a senior at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA studying Criminal Justice with a concentration in Law Enforcement. After graduation, I'd like to join the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves in addition, I plan to enter law enforcement, get certified for forensic photography and eventually join a SWAT Team(Special Weapons And Tactics) or an SRT (Special Response Team).
I am also an avid and loyal supporter of the United States Miliatry as I have many really good friends defending our country.My home town is Wheaton, IL (where I've lived for a little over 20 years of my life. While at home I like to chill with my absolute best friend Mike, my really great friends, Rachel, Lizzy, Tim and anyone else I've failed to mention. While at home I work at Abbington Distinctive Banquets as a server, I'm also a server at Carol's Garden Family Diner.After graduation, I'd like to join the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves in addition, I plan to enter law enforcement, get certified for forensic photography and eventually join a SWAT Team(Special Weapons And Tactics) or an SRT (Special Response Team).
I am also an avid and loyal supporter of the United States Miliatry as I have many really good friends defending our country.
About me as a photographer:
I've been actively taking photos since I was 15. I've taken two basic courses in photography, the first in basic techniques of the art form and how to analyze photos, and the second was an introduction to black and white photography and developing. Aside from the courses, I've toned my skills through reading various magazines and books as well as talking with other photographers. I've entered many contests over the years and won a handful of awards. Over the summer of 2007, I had two photos published in the Wheaton Sun and the Winfield Register newspapers. I'm currently a staff photographer for the St. Ambrose campus newspaper The Buzz which can be viewed at: http://www.saubuzz.com/home/ . I love talking with fellow photographers and love to have my photos critiqued with constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement; I feel that's the best way to grow as a photographer!
I am available for hire to do weddings, engagement, portraits, or other special events. Please contact me to inquire further.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you email me please identify yourself and tell me how you know me in the subject bar. Thanks again for checking out my page. Feel free to browse around and leave a comment if you so desire. Have fun!
