Gill & Son, Gill's Colchester premises, 1911

William Gill, FRPS, (1854, Islington - February 23, 1912, London) was an English photographer.[1][2] Based in Colchester (a town recorded in a vast number of his photographs), but born in Islington, London, "he was an advocate of the real as against the sham studio accessory."[2] At the time of his death, Gill was President of the Professional Photographers' Association.[2] A contributor to a number of magazines, his death was widely reported in photographic circles, such as by Wilson's Photographic Magazine:

“ Mr. Gill's work will be remembered for its good qualities and home portrait effects secured by the use of window effects.[2] ”
