William Berry makes digitally altered photographs with the skill of an auteur. He has been a director, cinematographer and editor who now takes still pictures much like he is making a feature narrative film. Berry combines multiple points of view in a single meticulously crafted photograph by using the latest, state-of-the-art digital technology, thus creating a seamless experience of viewing that eerily simulates in one "take" the cinematic pans and special effect transitions that are evidenced in entertainment media. To date Berry has created several bodies of work exploring ethnographic vistas ranging from airplane graveyards in the Mohave Desert and cemeteries in Peru, to the squatter civilization in slab city and Salvation Mountain in the Salton Sea.
