William Giles Art

American

William Giles studied and worked with many wonderful photographers, including Minor White, Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Beaumont Newhall, Nathan Lyons, Hollis Todd, Ralph Hattersley, Paul Caponigro and Jerry Uelsmann. He has an MFA from the University of Rochester, where he later served as chairman of the department of photography. He has taught and given workshops on both coasts. Giles’s photographs document the Black Movement in America; capture the fury of the ocean at Point Lobos; the serenity of the Kiva; the transitions of life and death; and the rhythms of a junkyard. His work has been published in numerous books and portfolios and can be found in museums from San Francisco to Paris.
