On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with William Botka a Montréal-based photographer, outdoor enthusiast, and adventure seeker who finds stories in every detail.

William refuses to limit himself to one genre, instead exploring the world through street photography, wildlife imagery, and sports documentation. Whether playing with the contrast of shadows on city streets, capturing the hidden worlds of animals at our feet, or documenting the raw determination of athletes, his lens always finds the story.

His work has been published in multiple issues of Ducks Unlimited Canada, commissioned by several Quebec wildlife reserves, and he also served as the official photographer for the Écomuseum Zoo in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.

In this episode, Will and I discuss:

• His journey as a photographer based in Montréal

• Why he refuses to be pinned to one genre

• The art of street, wildlife, and sports photography

• The importance of storytelling through the lens

• His published work in Ducks Unlimited Canada and projects with Quebec wildlife reserves

• What inspires him to keep seeking adventure and chasing details

  
  

This conversation with Will is a reminder that photography is less about the genre and more about the stories we choose to tell.
