About
film photographer | director | writer
Self-taught. Focused on faces and places. Guided by intuition. Fueled by curiosity and an insatiable hunger for storytelling. Billy Henry’s work lives at the dusty crossroads of subjectivity and objectivity, nonfiction and fiction, creating a supernatural world that orbits around narrative and energy.
Drawn to fringe subcultures, outsiders, renegades, free spirits. Frequently works with artists of various mediums.
Is forever-immersed in visual dialogue with his immediate surroundings.
Relentlessly explored and worked from the road with his dog Griffin (Rest In Peace Bubba). And now continues the Road Dog ethos with his recently-adopted pup Cash.
Loves working with teams yet is skilled and experienced as a singular production guru: directing, photography, videography, super 8, writing, casting, set design, styling, and editing. He is based in the California High Desert and Los Angeles.
Four photobook projects currently in the works:
title TBD: portraits and landscapes made in Los Angeles
title TBD: portraits and landscapes made in California’s High Desert
title TBD: portraits and landscapes made in and around small mining, railroad, and farming communities within Colorado’s mountains and High Plains

Plus a large-scale zine in the works:
