Originally I studied painting and sculpture. My first photography course was undertaken primarily out of curiosity but it soon became my preferred creative medium.
From 1998 to 2001, I worked as an artist in Egypt on a project documenting inscriptions on temple walls. During that time I continued with my photography, primarily concentrating on the architectural space and details of ancient Egyptian monuments and the Islamic structures in Cairo.
I am still interested in architectural images, but cannot confine myself to one genre alone and tend to photograph whatever captures my eye or imagination. Recently I bought a digital camera and really enjoy working in the “digital darkroom,” but I continue to work on several projects in black and white film.
My photographs have been shown in both group and solo exhibitions and have won several awards. The details are included in the bio page on my website. Bernice Williams
Since I began looking through a lens, I realized that I was searching for beauty with my camera. I will always be totally fascinated by the ability to capture that fleeting magical moment of beauty through the mechanism of light passing through a lens, and then being able to hand over that same moment to someone else.

This fireplace of mud-brick house is the central feature of an adobe house on the West Bank of Luxor, Egypt.
The word “Beyt” in the title means house in Arabic. These stairs are part of an adobe house on the West Bank of Luxor, Egypt.
This amazing fountain is located in the Place de la Concorde. The image is scanned from medium format black and white film.
This fountain is near the Place St-Michel, in Paris–quite awesome!
