Will Green is a photographer based in Bath, in the South West of England. His work spans long-term personal projects and commercial commissions. His long-term projects explore themes of legacy, personal disconnect, and social ambition within the context of a changing environment. Green divides his time between the UK and New Zealand.
His first monograph, Death and Other Belongings, was published by GOST Books in December 2024. Green’s interest in photography began at the age of ten when he started using his father’s Olympus camera. His parents were both artists and designers, with numerous friends in the film industry. During visits to the film studios and production offices, he was often given spare storyboards. His early photographs were frequently constructed narratives inspired by these storyboards.
Green went on to study photography at both school and college. During his college years, he also worked as an assistant at the now long gone Floral Street Photographic Studios in Covent Garden.
His first job after graduation was at a professional photographic lab and studio, where he worked as an apprentice black-and-white printer. Over four years, he mastered black-and-white and colour printing, rostrum camera work, and E6 processing. This led to a position as lab manager, which he held for several years. He then moved on to assist two commercial photographers who were setting up their own studio, a role he held for three years before transitioning to freelance photography.
In the early 2000s, Green began to focus more on personal projects, developing a documentary approach to his work, which has since influenced his recent commercial assignments. His clients have among others have included, Knoll International, the Bank of Japan, Soho House, Philips, Sony, the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, The Museum of London, USM, and Schroders.
