Photo Bio #4

Billy Dzwonkowski, a native Floridian, started playing ultimate and started his photography career in 2007. He first played for an intramural team at his college. That grew into a love for the sport, which took him to a more competitive level, and he joined his first club team in 2009. Ultimate and photography fight for his time, as he is also a very accomplished wedding and portrait photographer, making club season difficult to play. Billy joined the UltiPhotos team in 2015 and has covered numerous events since joining the team. Here are a few photography accolades:

  • 4x Bay Area Professional Photographers Associations Photographer of the Year
  • Florida Professional Photographer's Degree of Photographic Excellence
  • Florida Professional Photographer Top 10 Photographer
  • 2017 UltiPhotos Action Photo of the Year.
