Bill Walker –

The Photographer Behind Digital Inc.

After a decade and a half of military service, I followed my instincts, not to settle, but to move on. With camera in hand, I captured the life and colour of Miami and Puerto Rico.

As a professional photographer in the 90s, my work earned the respect of peers, a string of awards, and a reputation for seeing the world a little differently.

That same eye for detail took me somewhere few photographers go: New Scotland Yard. I started out as a crime scene photographer and later became a crime scene examiner. My work contributed to investigations into serious and organised crime, sometimes terrifying, even disturbing. Within the Specialist Crime Directorate, I focused on surveillance, intelligence, and counter-terrorism from Scotland Yard’s SO11 department. It wasn’t art, but it demanded the same precision, the same ability to notice what others pass by.

Then came 9/11, and with it the sense that the world had changed. The next chapter of my life unfolded in high-risk, potentially hostile environments, protecting diplomats, VIPs, and high-profile clients across Afghanistan, North and East Africa, the Middle East, and back home in the UK. From A-list celebrities to government contracts, I saw the world from a different perspective, sometimes under fire.

Now semi-retired, I’ve returned to where it all started: the image. Only now, it’s pixels, abstraction, and emotion. My digital art blends past and present, often surreal, sometimes dark, always my own.
