For fifteen years he has been a photographer working primarily with advertising agencies, publishers and the media from his studio in London's West End. THE LOTUS BOOK is the culmination of four years work, much of it spent locating some of the rarest cars in order that they could be photographed for this publication. Over the years William has owned, restored and competed in several different Lotus cars, most recently a Lotus Formula Junior.
