Robert's always held a deep passion for mixing the creative mediums of photography, music and film.

“I strive to create images with visual voice, confidence, and unique attitude ,” explains Robert.
In 2000 Robert made the exciting leap to a full-service art studio in New York City's historic Union Square (the original Photo District). Shooting and running a NYC studio for over 10 years in the same neighborhood that hosts the worlds top magazines, fashion agencies, ad agencies, and music venues gave Robert true fast-paced top-level industry exposure and experience. In 2010, Robert (along with many NYC creatives that were priced-out ) discovered the great city of Los Angeles as the perfect next big-city backdrop, offering beautiful outdoor locations, year-round lighting options, and some Venice Beach re-charging to those artistic batteries from over 10 years of creating images on NYC's frontline. Robert still provides clients affordable flexibility that can keep pace with any upcoming project.
