- Gene Page was born William Eugene Page IV in Florida in 1962 to a newspaper family that owned papers in Florida and Georgia. Page grew up with photography as his father was interested in not only the business side of journalism but the editorial side as well with photojournalism. Gene started to work in his family's newspaper helping in the photography department when he was nine years-old. About the same time, he found an old 8mm film camera at his grandparents house that had long been forgotten. He started taking it to school to make little short films on the playground as well as after school with an adaptation of Dracula, with Dracula played by the mayor's son, his biggest 4th grade production. Page's parents got divorced and his mother married someone who worked overseas, so that took Gene and his family to Europe, and then Asia, also living in California in the mid to late 1970s, where Gene used to sneak on studios to watch film making as a teenager. After high school, and then a stint in the Air Force, Page attended St. Petersburg (FL) Junior College, the University of Florida and then moved to New York for a graduate degree in photography from Long Island University. It was during these years that Page learned of the role of still photographer on a film set and thought it was a perfect combination of his love of photography and film making. After graduating, and while working for an upstate New York newspaper, Page started working on low budget independent films in New York to get experience and to get into the union. He has been working as a movie still photographer full time since 1993 and now lives with his wife (a documentary film-maker) and their two children in the woods of North Florida where he enjoys his time off while not working on set somewhere.
