William Leirer

Thanks for visiting! I'm open to your requests for certain sizes, printing surfaces, or custom framing in keeping with my edition limits and my artistic vision for a particular image. Please contact curator@saatchiart.com for more details or search for me on Instagram to discuss your request. I offer each original photograph in limited editions of ten on fine art paper, canvas, or face-mounted acrylic in several sizes.

I first got interested in photography as a boy, when a close relative loaned me his beloved twin lens reflex camera and taught me how to process the film and make prints in his basement darkroom. I've been shooting ever since.

My first college was as a photography major at the Cooper School of Art. I changed my major when I transferred to Cleveland State University but continued to take photography and art classes along with my other coursework. I ended up with a Master of Arts Degree in Education and a career as a teacher. When it comes to processing the 'digital negative' and the use of digital paintbrushes, I am mostly self-taught.

I gravitate toward scenes of nature - landscapes, water, mountains, wildlife, plants and flowers. My style leans toward photo-impressionism, abstraction, and abstract expressionism...
