HOTOGRAPHY GIVES ROBERT A CREATIVE outlet to explore the city he grew up in.
When he is not in class or working, he is usually behind a camera, chasing the kind of moments that turn ordinary places into something cinematic. Cars, landscapes and quiet Arizona roads are some of his favorite subjects. Sometimes that means crouching low on State Route 238 to capture the texture of the pavement stretching toward the horizon. Other times it means heading to The Lakes in Rancho El Dorado, where moving water, trees and rocks cloaked in vegetation collide in a strikingly lush scene. And occasionally, it means waiting for the perfect light. One of his favorite shots captures a BMW sedan gliding down Loma Road as dusk settles. Headlights cut through the fading light while the mountains in the distance begin to disappear into silhouettes. Robert says photography is part curiosity and part adventure. He enjoys exploring new places and documenting the moments between them. He describes himself as someone who likes to stay busy; downtime between adventures, assignments and part-time shifts are spent with family and friends. As for the future, he says he is still figuring it out. But if his camera is any indication, he is already well on his way to finding it.
