Bill Geiger began making photographs at age 32. Prior to that, he taught high school literature and managed the Cellar Door, a once famous nightclub in Washington, DC. When the nightclub bombed, he borrowed a 35mm Minolta from a friend and drove across country shooting everything that was nailed down and a few things that weren't. One image of the Grand Canyon was matted and framed in his house. It was soon noticed by a house guest, who declared, “You know, you just can’t take a bad picture of the Grand Canyon." He was never invited back.

In 1984, Mr. Geiger went to work as a lighting technician for the National Geographic Society where he was influenced by Victor Boswell, Jr., Annie Griffiths Belt and Martin Rogers.He hung out his shingle in 1986, and began a career combining editorial and corporate photography. His work soon appeared in the following publications: Mid-Atlantic Country, Preservation, Smithsonian, Parade, Civilization, National Geographic, U.S. News & World Report, Archaeology, Cooking Light and the Atlantic Monthly.

He has just finished work on the new  Washington National Cathedral Guidebook, and did stills for the U. S. Army's "Faces of Strength" campaign which was shown in October at the AUSA convention in Washington, DC.

Mr. Geiger sports a B. A. in English Literature from the College of William & Mary and has three children who are tireless in their efforts to give him a proper education. He resides in Washington, DC.
