Will Gibson

Will Gibson Bio After spending seven years in medical research, Will turned his photographic hobby into a vocation in 1979. He opened his own studio a year later. By 1999, the business was a full service commercial studio with a full wet lab and one-stop desktop publishing. What followed next was a three-year sojourn based in Columbus, Ohio where he concentrated on his personal photography, traveling the art fair circuit all over the American East.

Returning to Escondido, CA, he began teaching photography at Palomar College and later also at UCSD Extension. During the next 15 years he taught 15 separate class titles including Alternative Processes, Portraiture and Commercial Photography. He continues to exhibit his work in group and one man shows, was a founding member of the PhotoArts Group in Escondido, co-produced six Best of Nature shows at the Natural History Museum and has been a speaker and juror in photo clubs in the greater San Diego area.

Will is currently showing his varied work in his ArtHatch Studio 3 and exploring wet-plate collodion and digital infrared photography. This continues his consistent quest to use the camera in order to see the world in ways his own eyes cannot and to share those insights with others.
