拉夫·吉普森简历
拉夫·吉布森（1939.1.16 美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶出生）先后在美国海军，旧金山艺术学院学习摄影。在加州作为多萝西娅的助理是他职业生涯的开始，后来搬到纽约，接着在两部电影上与罗伯特弗兰克合作。
吉布森一直保持着对书籍和编辑的终身迷恋。目前他已出版了40多个专题，包括The Somnambulist (1970), Déjà-Vu (1973), 海上 (1975); Syntax (1983); Tropism (1987); L’Anonyme (1987); L’Histoire de France (1991), 玛格丽特杜拉斯编的简介，Lustrum出版社出版，吉布森创立并出版了早期作品，同时出版了拉里克拉克，尼尔斯莱文，玛丽埃朗马克和丹尼西摩的重要的专刊，以及罗伯特弗兰克的我的手和其他著作。吉布森近期的项目包括State of the Axe (耶魯大學出版社, 2008) 和 裸体 (Taschen, 2009).
吉布森的摄影作品收藏在遍布世界各地一百五十多个博物馆中，包括现代艺术博物馆，大都会艺术博物馆和美国纽约惠特尼艺术博物馆；华盛顿艺术画廊；加州旧金山艺术博物馆；德克萨斯州休斯顿美术系博物馆；京都现代美术馆；日本横滨美术馆；法国巴黎国家图书馆。他的作品在世界各地展出。
近50年来他专用徕卡35mm相机。
吉布森得到美国全国艺术基金会的奖学金(1973,1975,1986)，在柏林的德国学术交流(D.A.A.D)交换(1977)，纽约艺术国务院（CAPS）的奖学金（1977），以及约翰西蒙古根汉姆纪念基金会奖金（1985）。
他的奖项包括：徕卡奖章优秀奖（1988）；“一百五十年摄影”奖；日本摄影学会（1989）；阿尔勒城市大奖（1994），以及美术摄影终身成就奖（2008）。法国政府授予他艺术与文学主任（1986），艺术与文学指挥官（2005）。
吉布森被授予了美国马里兰大学的博士学位(1991)，也在俄亥俄州的卫斯理大学被授予名誉博士学位(1998)。
“我做了一辈子的摄影师,”吉布森曾经写过“因为很多原因拍摄了很多事物，但是让我更清楚的是，我只是相信我的下一张摄影会更好,这才是重要的。基于这个原因, 我能更好的愉快的面对新的一天, 冲洗新的胶卷。这是一个很好的生活方式。”
近年来他致力于提高自己第二爱好，音乐，录音，以及与一些音乐家现场表演吉他。
