From a young age William Steel was captivated by the wildlife that surrounded him. Raised in Botswana, he was able to explore and discover the beauty of untamed wilderness, and it sparked in him a love for nature.

William has always had an interest in birdlife, and that is where his photographic journey began. As his hobby blossomed into a passion, and then a career, he began to turn his focus to storytelling.
