PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBIT: LIGHT ON THE LANDSCAPE
November 17th – January 4th

Since 1983, when Ansel approved my work for sale in his gallery, I have been exhibiting my fine art prints there. This has been a great honor for me, with 15+ shows over those many years. I’ve chosen this exhibit’s title to be Light On The Landscape as it is also the title of my forthcoming book by the same name. You can read more about the book below.

Starting soon after the first of the year, a pre-order sale of a limited number of signed hardbound editions will be made available by the publisher Rocky Nook on their website. I will be offering some form of deluxe edition for direct sale only. Softbound is expected to be $45 and the hardbound $55. I will announce the details when the pre-order is launched so stay tuned to my social media or sign up for my occasional newsletter HERE.

I will be attending the opening reception to be held on Saturday, November 23rd from 1-3 pm.

Kind regards, William Neill

FROM THE GALLERY:
In 1977, photographer William Neill found his life’s path when he moved to Yosemite to work for the National Park Service. Not long after this, he began working at The Ansel Adams Gallery as a staff photographer, teaching visitors all he could about the art form and the place that he loved. Mr. Neill has said that: “Perhaps one of the greatest joys of being a photographer to me is to see the light on the landscape, seeing its daily cycles change with each season and shift with each day’s weather. I revel in the light. I am its disciple.” While other itinerant interests would take him on adventures far and wide, from the American Southwest to the Himalaya to Antarctica, he would make Yosemite his home.

His life in photography has been an amazing journey as witnessed by the incredible and intimate imagery that has resulted, as well as the numerous books and articles written in the process. Between November 17th, 2019 and January 4th, 2020, The Ansel Adams Gallery will be exhibiting “Light on the Landscape – Photographs by William Neill” featuring work made throughout an illustrious career.

A reception with the artist will be held on Saturday, November 23rd from 1-3 pm, on what will no doubt be a beautiful autumn day in the park!
