Gus Foster was born in Wausau, Wisconsin in 1940. After graduating from Yale University in 1963 with a BA in Art History, he worked for 10 years as the Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. In 1972 he moved to Los Angeles to set up his own photographic art studio. Foster has lived and worked in Taos, New Mexico, since 1976. He makes two or three mountain treks each year to photograph the highest peaks in the United States, accompanied by his four-legged companions, William Henry, Chico and Angel.
