fine art photographer of the year

From my "the Wounded" series. This one pays tribute to the Orlando mass shooting. Unlike my other images, every character in this image is trying to escape, but the road to escape is so far...

William Ye is a 26-year-old self-taught portrait and fine art photographer based in Toronto, Canada. William’s passion for fine art photography ignited 3 years ago, and since then, he worked hard to form his own photographic style under the influences of many artists, including Salvador Dali, Erwin Olaf, Jennifer Hudson, and so forth. William has received several awards and honorable mentions in various International level photography competitions in the past, including IPA, One Eyeland, PDN and IPOTY. William’s current focus is on fine art male form. He hopes one day to break the taboo of male nudity in the main stream art.
