William Vanscoy Art Prints

William was born in San Mateo, California in 1946, and discovered art through fifteen years of photography. He attended Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, and upon graduation, he moved to Los Angeles and opened a professional studio. After changing to Large Format View Cameras he embraced man-made and natural landscape, attempting to emulate artists like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. While working in Los Angeles, William stayed connected to his own fine art work taking time to photograph in the American Southwest and Europe. In 2002, William made his final commercial photo, closed his studio and moved to Oregon. Over the last four decades, the equipment William uses and his basic artistic motivations have evolved. He believes his work represents part of his own intimate journey and experience, and attempts to convey similar feelings in the images he constructs.
