William Figge

William Vassar Figge (March 25, 1919 – May 1976) was an American photographer who, along with his wife Melba, ran a photography studio in Glendale, California.

Figge was a combat photographer in World War II.

After the war, he failed to find work as a cinematographer, so he stayed with photography and specialised in portraiture, shooting weddings and contributing to Playboy magazine.

[1] Bill and Melba had three sons, (Greg, Stephan and Eric,) and one daughter (Leslie).

Eric, the only child to have formal education in photography, photographs architecture professionally.
