A native of New Jersey, Robert relocated to Utah to capture the unparalleled light and drama of the Colorado Plateau. Leaving behind a 14 year career as an industrial designer, he started Plateau Light Gallery at Zion National Park in 2001 and a second gallery in 2006 located in St. George Utah.

Regarded as one of the finest large format landscape photographers in the West and collected world wide, Robert offers his stunning collectable enlargements in limited editions to enthusiasts of nature and beauty.
His photographs are recognized throughout the world for their mastery of color, composition and reverence for the spirit of the land. He is best known for his expressive environmental portraits which capture the drama, emotion and power of the natural world. Robert chooses to use large format 5x7 inch transparency type ( slide ) film to yield artwork that is the equivalent of his artistic vision.

Robert continuously explores the Southwest with his large format plate style camera ( a 1904 vintage, Seneca 5x7 inch wood camera ) and his custom made panoramic format film camera, photographing at the edge of light and weather to bring us his masterful creations.

Robert's work has been featured in numerous national publications including Kiplingers magazine, Forbes, Cerca magazine,Teldon Publications, Great Mountain West, Gannett publications and numerous souvenir items.
