About the Instructors
William James Woolf
Bill has been teaching digital photography courses and workshops in Italy since 2000. He first discovered Santu Lussurgiu and the Montiferru area of Sardinia in 2002, while he was still living and teaching art in Florence, Italy. He found the Montiferru landscape was such perfect location to photograph that he bought a home in Santu Lussurgiu so he could return on semester breaks and all the summer. Bill moved to Santu Lussurgiu full-time in 2005 so he could take pictures of Sardinia all the time, in all seasons. His love of this landscape, the culture, and its people are so strong that as an artist, he needed to live in Sardinia. His affection for this area makes a difference in his workshops. He knows the land, its nuances, the effect of seasonal changes on it, as well as both the secret and the not so secret locations for photographing this unique area.Bill studied photography and art at The Ohio State University, The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He received his M.F.A. in Studio Art from Florida State University. He has taught landscape painting, drawing, digital photography, web design, and PhotoShop among many other subjects, in both the United States and Italy, and was the Dean of Students of an art institute in Florence, Italy before moving to Sardinia.
