Bill Jacobson (b.USA 1955) is an American photographer. He received a BFA from Brown University in 1977 and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1981. 

Jacobson began his signature out of focus images in 1989. After exhibiting in a number of group exhibitions, in 1993 he had his first New York solo show at New York University’s Grey Art Gallery. Entitled Interim Figures, these shadowy pale photographs evoke the loss experienced by so many during the height of the AIDS epidemic. With their blurred human subjects, they indicate the futility of capturing true human likeness in both portraiture and memory.
