In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns is joined by Bill Hunter, a veteran photographer and the founder of Pharr Out Media. Recorded at COhatch, this conversation delves into Bill’s 30-year journey behind the lens—from his early days in the Marine Corps to becoming a specialist in commercial branding and fine art photography in Lakeland.
Bill shares how his middle name, “Pharr,” inspired his business name and reflects on his transition from the era of film to the digital age. Having recently moved to Lakeland to be closer to family, Bill discusses his passion for capturing the “craftsmanship” of local businesses and his deep appreciation for the community’s unique, small-town feel.
Whether you’re a business owner looking to elevate your brand or an art lover interested in the technical side of photography, Bill’s blend of old-school experience and modern creativity offers an inspiring look at the power of the visual image. 57
