About

Trained as a musician, Robert graduated from the Berklee College of Music in 1990 and was a music producer for 12 years before transitioning to landscape photography and the desire to spend as much time in nature.

With visual story telling,  he discovered the potential to express a more creative and personal vision. Focusing on the Hudson Valley allowed Robert to discover not only beautiful landscapes often taken for granted, but the changing mood and character of the region. Seeking to capture the beauty, or convey the emotional qualities of a place or moment in nature, his images have elicited responses ranging from evocative, to spiritual and breathtaking. He frequently travels beyond in search of other dramatic and unique locations, including New England, the southwest, and Canada.

Robert takes pride in a hands on approach to creating his expressive prints, working on every stage, from the initial exposure and processing, to printing and framing. His prints have been purchased by private collectors and commercial clients throughout North America. His photographs have also been featured in publications such as the NY Times.

Robert is also a Canson Infinity ambassador, a select group of hand-picked international artists that uphold and exemplify the Canson heritage of paper making since 1557. Canson's commitment to seek artists of the highest caliber has been an important role in continuing its legacy in creativity, innovation, and quality.

Robert is passionate about conservation and the importance of protecting our natural resources for both current and future generations. Photography is a powerful tool to bring awareness and appreciation of the value and importance of nature and its frequent misuse, especially in the Hudson Valley.

His photography is showcased and used for promotional purposes by Scenic Hudson , the leading non-profit organization dedicated to land and nature preservation in the Hudson Valley. He recently edited and produced a 6 minute hi-definition documentary film highlighting the natural beauty of the region.

He has donated images to be used for promotion and fund raising by many non-profit organizations dedicated to this cause, including The Audubon Society, and the Mohonk Preserve. Robert has also donated his time and photos to educational causes including the Mill Street Loft, Haldane School Foundation, Clearwater, Hudson Highlands Trust, and many others.
