Will Santillo's current work evokes the elusive dreams and memories of lovers lost -- intimate phantoms of eros past but not quite gone from the landscape of men and women he photographs...

Will began his studies of photography while at M.I.T., studying under master photographer Minor White and obtaining a degree in Art & Design. He continued his education at the University of Toronto, receiving with a professional degree in architecture. In his long career as a photographer, Will has worked in a variety of fields including: fashion, corporate, architectural, personal and intimate portraiture. He has been published in several major North American consumer and professional publications, and has participated in group shows in New York, Berlin and Toronto. Will’s work was featured in a one-man show in Toronto, and in an exposé for television.

An American with dual citizenship for both United States and Canada, Will works on a regular basis in both New York and Toronto, and often travels for assignments throughout North America.

"For the last five years, Will Santillo has taken a detour from his career in traditional commercial photography, and has been exploring the world of erotic art photography. In his quest to keep taste and art paramount, he has crafted a vision and style that is passionate and uninhibited without the explicit nature that commonly dominates this subject matter. His unique vision has been recognized in print by Taschen and Mammoth Press and will soon be showcased in a monogram edition to be published in early 2008..
This sojourn within the erotic genre has allowed Will to develop an insightful new artistic approach to all his work, whether in the field of classic beauty, glamour, intimate apparel, seductive lifestyle or erotic portraiture. His experience in both the traditional commercial photographic fields and the erotic arts, offers an unique set of credentials and experience not found in the average commercial photographer, making him a ‘one of a kind’ shooter.
A native born New Yorker, Will is now a dual citizen of both the United States and Canada, and is currently conducting regular business in Los Angeles and New York and other major North American cities."
