About Me

Photographer on San Francisco Peninsula and Sierra foothills interested in collaborating to create unique, artistic, fun portraits - indoor, outdoor, costumes, edgy, experimental, etc. I'm looking for TFP models and relevant artisans to collaborate.

Demographics are not important. Safety, fun, and creativity are.

I'm a member and event organizer of a local portrait photography Meetup group, which is how I got started in portrait photos.

I look forward to making art with you.

PENDING PROJECTS - SEEKING MODELS:
* Old Hollywood Style Glamor / Film Noir (male and female)
* Fine Art Couple Bodyscaping (male to pair with females)
* Fine Art Sports Athletics Poses (male or female)
* Fine Art Body Painting (female)

NOTE:
Only Members can view NSFW photos in my portfolio. Select "View All", then scroll to the bottom to see them.

ATTENTION:
Everyone participating in a photo shoot with me will sign a written agreement, which they keep a copy of. This includes models, photographers, hair and makeup artists, grips, etc.

For purposes of a TFP photo shoot with me, TFP = "Time For digital Photos". Usually, I provide a web link to a private page where you can download the photos.

I am very selective when it comes to which photos from a photo shoot I edit or release. Unless I'm being paid, I never promise a specific number of photos to be released.

I'm fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19. I expect everyone on a photo shoot to be fully vaccinated and boosted. No exceptions.

"Robert is such a consummate pro--diligent, detail-oriented, driven to perfection, yet so easy-going, super-friendly, funny, patient & provided constructive feedback which was immensely helpful to me (thought I already knew most things, but with Robert, I actually gained many more tips!) There was one instance when Robert asked me to move a certain direction for the pose & I failed to respond--he walked over & even asked permission if he could touch & move my arm! So respectable with distance & boundaries! Robert provided edited copies with quick turnaround times & even have copies sized-ready for social media! I mean, which photographer does that?! Have shot with Robert twice & will be collaborating a 3rd time! Don't miss your opportunity to shoot with Robert if the opportunity presents itself! Thank you so much, Robert, for making me present better as a model!" Read less

"I really enjoyed working with Robert, he is very respectful, kind and a friendly person. He spent time on the phone with me before our shoot to find out what I was comfortable with, and walked me through past photoshoots he had. He took a wide variety of photos for me, some in business casual, some in swimsuits, and he taught me how to pose. He's very patient too, as I am an amateur model. I would definitely work with him again." Read less

"Robert has a great eye for making really beautiful images and knows a lot about high fashion and posing. You can tell right off the bat that he has a lot of experience and that it comes easily to him to see what needs to be done to make the shot perfect. I loved the way that he automatically knows how to pick a really striking background. With me as a model, he created a juxtaposition but coordinated it perfectly with the right amount of balance. Really talented artist to work with!" Read less
