Hi, my name is Robert :)
I was born in 1994, and I’m a London-based photojournalist and portrait photographer whose love for capturing life began the moment I first saw an image appear on one of those early camera phones, amazed that a single click could hold a moment forever.
At 15, I bought my first camera, a Nikon D50, and started asking friends for portraits, learning to see stories in faces and light. That’s where my fascination with people truly began, how emotion, personality, and truth can live within a single frame. Gradually I upgraded my gear, from the 18–55 kit lens to a Tamron 70–300 and later the “nifty fifty” 50mm f/1.8, which changed everything, and soon I began getting paid for shoots.
My path led me through weddings, couples, engagements, and later filmmaking with a creative agency, working with professionals, models, and high-end equipment. But I soon realized I was most alive when telling real stories, raw, unfiltered moments that hold truth rather than staged perfection.
That realization drew me toward photojournalism, a way to witness and share the world’s real stories, documenting protests, immigration struggles, conflicts, social unrest, and community resilience. Yet even as I pursue the truth through journalism, portrait photography remains close to my heart, a space where I connect deeply with people, capturing not just how they look, but who they are.
For me, photography, whether journalistic or portrait, is more than imagery; it’s a responsibility to capture real emotion, to give voice to those often unheard, and to preserve moments that matter. My camera isn’t just a tool, it’s how I tell the truth, keep memory alive, and follow a lifelong passion to show people the world as it truly is.
Over the years I’ve refined not only my style but also the tools I use. Today I work primarily with two Canon 1DX Mark II bodies, supported by a Canon 6D Mark II as backup. My go-to lenses include the Sigma ART 35mm f/1.4, Sigma ART 50mm f/1.4, and Sigma ART 85mm f/1.4, but always on the camera bodies are my two legendary lenses: the Canon 24–70mm f/2.8 and Canon 70–200mm f/2.8. This setup allows me to adapt to a wide range of situations, from intimate portraits and human stories to fast-paced, unpredictable events.
