Born in London,1969, currently based in Santa Monica, CA. As a kid, fell off a six foot wall backwards onto concrete. As a teenager, delivered newspapers in snow, driving rain and biting wind on dark winter mornings. Served many pints in North East England pubs, one time got punched, kept serving. Early in career shot Deepak Chopra, accidentally referred to him as Tupak. He didn’t notice. Can’t pronounce the letter ’r’, which is a shame when your name is Robert. Can talk backwards.

Photography became something more to me after studying W. Eugene Smith and Richard Avedon’s ’In The American West’. From then on, I realized i wanted to capture the essence of people in pictures.

In December 2001, two months after the day that changed the world, my first solo exhibition, ‘Ground Hero - Portraits of September 11’, was featured by ABC News. My work has been exhibited internationally and i’m proud to say is archived in the permanent collection of The National Portrait Gallery in London.
