Robert studied at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara and later received his practical education living and working in New York City and Paris, France.

During those years Robert worked as a production assistant for television and movies, and as a personal assistant for notable photographers, including Mary Ellen Mark. While living in Paris, Robert began shooting his own editorial assignments for magazines including Korean Vogue. Robert moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1998 and continues to photograph commercially and privately.

He began photographing weddings in 1992 for a relative, and over the years has cultivated an immense enjoyment of celebrations. “Weddings are full of mystery and suspense, with gifts for all,” says Robert.

Robert's primary goal with pictures is to capture beautiful moments. Robert looks for images that can speak volumes, a balance of moments between people, scenes, food, flowers, fabric, light and emotion- all combine to tell the story of the day.

Robert has received numerous accolades from clients and peers, and continuously strives to expand upon the quality of his work.
