“I love to make photographs for a simple reason – to help you come closer to the wonder and beauty of the world around us, one moment at a time. I love telling visual stories that reflect how I feel about what I see, and hopefully bring a positive, insprired outlook to everyday life.”
I’m Robert Rodriguez Jr — landscape photographer, fine art printer, writer, and educator based in Beacon, New York. For nearly two decades, I’ve been making photographs, writing about the creative process, and helping other photographers find their voice.
I’m a Canson Infinity ambassador and the author of Field Guide to Fine Art Printing. I run the Creative Path Academy, where I work with photographers who want to move beyond technique and into vision, craft, and personal expression. We meet regularly for honest feedback, live sessions, and the kind of creative growth that only happens in a community of practitioners who care about the work.
Before photography, I spent twenty years in music — composing, producing, and arranging. That background taught me that creativity isn’t a gift you’re born with. It’s a practice. It’s learnable. That belief shapes everything I teach.
When I’m not behind a camera or in front of a class, I’m hiking Mount Beacon with my dog Ruby, reading something that challenges how I think, or trying to convince myself I don’t need another print on the wall.
