His two brother's still live and work in England of which Nigel is his closest and dearest. He (Gibbons) was educated at Swan School (Salisbury private school). At the age of ten, he relocated with his family to Newbury in England where his Father was assigned to office duties following health problems with arthritis, primarily affecting his lower back. At Park House School comprehensive and later St. Bartholomew's Grammar, he was pulled towards photography and art with the support of his Father. On his identity today he has said, "I feel very British more than ever before, even though I have lived in the States for so long. I don't think you can take England out of the boy," and attributes the "love of life " to his passion for the English countryside and idyllic childhood enjoyed with his beloved parents.
