Welcome to Aurora Lensman Studio, the home of William Rogers, Photographer

There’s a quiet power in the Midwest and Great Lakes—a sense of place shaped by shifting light, weathered architecture, and the stories of everyday people. Through my lens, I seek to honor these landscapes and cityscapes, capturing moments of stillness, transformation, and resilience that define our region.

My work bridges the gap between art and place, inviting you to see the familiar with fresh eyes. From the ethereal glow of the aurora borealis reflected in a northern lake, to the textured details of a city street at dawn, each photograph is both a document and an invitation: a chance to celebrate the overlooked, to find beauty in the everyday, and to build a sense of belonging through visual storytelling.

Whether you’re looking to enrich your home, office, or community space, I believe art should feel approachable and rooted in authenticity. Explore the gallery, discover the spirit of the Midwest, and find a piece that speaks to your own sense of home.
