images about the artist

Will Tenney grew up in Berkeley, California, and as a child of 7 was given a Kodak Brownie camera (see photo) by his father, San Francisco Bay Area photographer Thos Tenney. In high school his father gave Will an old Leica camera, and even though it scratched every frame on every roll, having a 35mm camera was a real breakthrough for him. It's been downhill ever since, having gone through Pentax cameras, Minoltas, Nikons, Canons, even a classic Mickey-Matic Instamatic -- but he has now gone completely digital, no longer keeping a darkroom.

Will Tenney graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Graphic Design. He currently lives in Medford, Massachusetts.
