About the Photographer
Furniture Maker, Folk Artist, Fine Art Photographer, these are just a few of the many paths Robert has walked throughout his thirty year career in the creative arts. Born and raised in Northern New Mexico, his love of his native "land of clear light" has been a powerful influence in all he has created and creates today.
Self taught and always learning, Robert's passion for images has become an ever-growing, enlightening journey of discovery. Inspired by the rich landscape and ancient history of the southwest - Robert’s interpretation of light, texture, color and shape has slowly evolved into a unique style of capturing the "voice and essence " of New Mexico.
A consummate professional with an eye for detail, Robert has complete creative control throughout the entire imaging process. "There's an unseen dialogue ...a 'psychic handshake' if you will, between the subject and the photographer. It is a huge responsibility... indeed a sacred gift ...to agree to honor the vision from capture to print. It's the driving force and reason I capture, develop, print, and even mount and frame the work myself. The continuity is an integral part of the creative process... and my way of honoring and giving thanks for the image. "
An award winning Fine Art Photographer who has been featured in local, regional, and international publications, Robert's limited edition works are found in galleries throughout New Mexico and in private collections worldwide
