During the mid-1970s he studied photography under such notables as Ansel Adams, Wynn Bullock, Steve Crouch and Al Weber. Over the past thirty-seven years, Witherill has participated in more than ninety solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the world, and his photographs are maintained in numerous public art collections. Since 1975, he has taught photography for a variety of institutions and workshop programs around the country. His work has been the subject of two hardcover monographs, Orchestrating Icons (2000) and Botanical Dances (2001), both published by LensWork Publishing. Witherill was the 1999 recipient of the "Artist of the Year" award presented by the Center for Photographic Art.
