Rob, born and raised in Miami, was the son of a printer and grew up surrounded by photographers. Shortly after college he stepped up his photography when he turned the bathroom in his Miami Beach apartment into a dark room. Since then his love for photography has only deepened and his passions have expanded to encompass the globe.
Rob is now a full-time world photographer focusing on spirit, culture, and place. “My camera is a window – a tool that allows me to seek insight into man’s relationship with himself, the world, and the divine. The last being my particular fascination – the human connection with divinity & spirituality in its many manifestations.”
Many of Rob’s images have received international recognition and have garnered awards in international competitions. His photography has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Naples Italy, Minneapolis Minnesota, Middlebury Vermont, Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His photographs have been published in Outdoor Photographer, Black & White Magazine, SHOTS Magazine, BLACK + WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY, Gulfstream Literary Magazine, and Blackbird Literary Magazine.
