Burnett Gallery Exhibit: Bill Apton |
|
Bill Apton, commercial photographer for thirty years, specializing in annual report photography, is making available his fine art photography, stock photography and is available for photography assignments. Bill states, "I knew I wanted to be a photographer ever since I was 10 years old and received a Kodak Hawkeye camera for opening a new bank account with $10. I was introduced to the magic of photography and read every popular magazine and book I could get my hands on. At thirteen I built my first home darkroom and until the digital age never got tired of placing a white piece of paper into a clear solution and seeing the image develop. When it came time to choose a profession I knew it was art related and photography was it. I attended Rochester Institute of Technology and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Professional Photography. After a two year stint in the army I moved to San Francisco and started my freelance career. My wife and I take frequent vacations and are fortunate to have seen a varied part of the planet. If we travel to Asia, for instance, we will see one country in a three-week period and feel as though we have a limited understanding of the culture and the people." |
