Bill Travis (born 1957) is an American photographer known for his cityscapes and the sensual male figure. This is a list of notable photographers in the art, documentary and fashion traditions. ...

His discovery of photography came through art history, having earned a Ph.D. in medieval art and taught at the university level for several years, and this background has influenced his creative work. His earliest forays consisted of photographic transfers on gilt boards, using a technique of his invention that let the gold shine through to the surface. The result is something close in spirit to the Byzantine icon. More recently, Travis has developed other techniques that explore the frontier between painting and photography, such as transfers on glass and tinfoil. The cities he has photographed most extensively are New York, Paris, Rome, and Venice. He has also executed a series on Venticello, a little-known miniature village built on a slope in the Hollywood Hills.
