Britton Black and William Benson

Teaches at Chicago Photography Academy

Britton Black is a third generation photographer from the city of Chicago. Before touching a camera, Britton was already mastering the techniques of conventional printing at his father's lab. It was not until 7 years later did he actually begin to experiment with a camera. He enrolled at Northern Illinois University to pursue their fine art program and later continued education at Harrington College of Design. His work has taken on a very distinctive look, which has helped to create a well-rounded brand. Britton's photographs are equally complex in mechanics and artistic form. William also works as a corporate trainer and has delivered seminars across the US on subjects including advanced image manipulation, customer satisfaction, problem solving and all aspects of digital photography to companies such as Siemens, Underwriters Laboratories, Coca-Cola and Motorola. He has also assisted more than six thousand new photographers in beginning the creative journey with the right tools and information.
