Bill Atkinson quote:

Photography begins not in the camera but in the mind and the eye. The real work is one of noticing and appreciating, seeing things clearly and differently, and sharing that vision with others. I have developed my vision and my photographic craft in order to bring the beauty of nature to light in a fresh way that can inspire and nourish people.



At the age of ten, Atkinson was given a subscription to “Arizona Highways” magazine. He cut out several nature photographs, displayed them on his bedroom wall and found that he was nourished and inspired by them. Thus began Atkinson's lifelong journey – exploring and photographing nature. Atkinson has spent more than forty years refining his vision as a photographer – hiking through forests and deserts; lugging camera gear through rain, mud and snow; seeking out the special light that reveals hidden beauty. Through intimate landscapes and close-up details, Atkinson's photographs highlight and celebrate the wonders of nature. By developing his skills as a photographer and a fine art printmaker, Atkinson has been able to create expressive and archival photographs that faithfully share his experiences. As a pioneer of digital printing technologies, he teaches workshops in fine-art printmaking and has shared his expertise with over three hundred photographers.
