There are two versions of Marina Williams. Marina Williams the successful photographer, who helps major brands like Adobe, Canon, and Disney+ bring their campaigns to life with her fun, colorful imagery. And Marina Williams the educator, whose social posts, workshops, and in-person retreats help beginner photographers learn their craft and turn their passion into a viable business of their own.

As a self-taught artist and entrepreneur, Williams knows how daunting it can feel to make the move from amateur to professional creator. With resources like Adobe Firefly, Adobe's family of creative generative AI models, making her field more accessible and democratic, she is on a mission to inspire as many people as possible to share her passion.

"I want to give photographers who feel stuck or lost in their journey the support they need to get over the hump, whether it's wrapping their head around new editing software or tips on how to build their business," says Williams. "Each time Adobe releases a new Photoshop or Firefly update, I immediately break it down for my followers so they can take advantage."
