We have searched for the decays B {yields} {mu}{bar {nu}}{sub {mu}}{gamma} and B {yields} e{bar {nu}}{sub e}{gamma} in a sample of 2.7 million charged B decays collected with the CLEO II detector. In the muon channel, we observe no candidates in the signal region and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of {Beta}(B {yields} {mu}{bar {nu}}{sub {mu}}{gamma}) < 5.2 x 10{sup -5} at the 90% confidence level. In the electron channel, we observe 5 candidates in the signal region and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of {Beta}(B {yields} e{bar {nu}}{sub e}{gamma}) < 2.0 x 10{sup -4} at the 90% confidence level.
