Raised in a small town in Northern Indiana, Bill Schwob developed an early interest in fine art through his father, a painter. Bill attended Herron School of Art in Indianapolis in the early 70's, studying painting and photography, and from there relocated to Boston. He began his career by assisting other photographers, while supplementing his income with carpentry. Before long he began commercial shooting on his own, and by the late 70s' had three books published with his photography through PBS, 'This Old House' books one and two, and "The Victory Garden Cookbook .' He moved to San Francisco in 1981 and for the last 20 years has been taking pictures both in his studio and around the world.

Bill has shot products, photo illustration, people, and food, in the studio as well as on location, and in all formats. His work has appeared in brochures, magazines, books, catalogs, annual reports, web sites and ad campaigns. Whether it's designing and building custom-made sets or facilitating another's creative vision, Bill focuses on finding just the right solution for his clients. The result is beautiful, effective, artistic imagery that powerfully communicates the client's message.
