about me

Hey! I’m Billy - I’m an adventure photographer and am obsessed with the outdoors. You could say that mountains are kinda my thing. So cool you stopped by!

So many of us travel and trek to feel alive. To escape. To connect. To explore. Telling the story of a place and capturing that feeling is my favorite part about what I do. You can count on me to get out there and capture honest images - all in the hopes of inspiring others to get out and see it for themselves. That’s what I’m here to do - whether for you, fellow adventurers, or the brands I partner with. 

I didn’t grow up with a camera in my hand, I’m self-taught and stumbled into this career later in life. Growing up, you’d find me all over the Sierra Nevada mountains. Camping, fishing, and loving all things outdoors. Honestly, today the same is probably true. I’ve lived many places over the years, but always find myself coming back to the Bay Area. I wander all over for work but there’s just some trails that feel like home.

If you’re not already, come hang out on instagram (you’ll find me there @billydekom) - that’s where I’m sharing new shots and stories everyday with my adventure community. Hop on my email list if you’re into backpacking, photography, and hikes - I’ll let you know when there’s new reads up on the blog or new prints in the shop. Join the community here.

See you out there!
