Life
St. Gil was born in Helmond, Netherlands on February 10, 1924. Following his immigration to the US, he became a photojournalist, eventually being hired as a contributing photographer to the young EPA's DOCUMERICA project. He died on August 13, 1992, in Katy, Texas.

DOCUMERICA
DOCUMERICA was an EPA-sponsored program created "photographically document subjects of environmental concern" lasting from 1971 to 1977. Among the dozens of prominent photographers hired for the program, St. Gil specialized in documenting nature, rural life, and pollution in Southern Texas, with the focus of his work being in and around Leakey, Houston and San Antonio. The National Archives and Records Administration has digitized part of his photographic portfolio, and his works produced for DOCUMERICA are in the public domain, with hundreds of images available on Wikimedia Commons and Flickr.
