Born in Syracuse, New York, in 1949, Huntington Witherill moved with his family to California in 1953, where he began taking piano lessons at the age of four. With intentions of eventually becoming a concert pianist, Witherill entered college as a music major in 1968 but soon thereafter became interested in the study of two-dimensional design. That shift in artistic pursuit eventually led to a career in fine art photography beginning in 1970.
Having studied photography in the early 1970s with such notables as Ansel Adams, Wynn Bullock, Steve Crouch, and Al Weber, Witherill has remained faithful to his classical roots while progressively transitioning toward a more contemporary approach to the medium. Witherill lives on the Monterey Peninsula in Central California.
