Ford Gilbreath

(American, born 1951)

Ford Gilbreath creates intensely descriptive photo-series based on very specific themes and lanscapes, especially Seattle cityscapes. Each series as a whole sets a mood and tells a story.

Gilbreath earned a Bachelor of Science degree in cinema and photography from Southern Illinois University and a Master of Arts degree in photography from Central Washington University in Ellensburg in 1974. He has served as visiting faculty at The Evergreen State College in Olympia and as a digital photography technician for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer news. Gilbreath lived and worked in Seattle for forty years and moved to the Palouse area of Eastern Washington in 2018. He has been showing his photographs at the Blue Sky Gallery, in Portland, Oregon since 1975.
