I am an interior design and architecture photographer whose career started in New York City. I continue to work there and in the Midwest, where I am based. I’ve also completed projects throughout New England, California, Florida, and abroad.
Having the great fortune to travel the world from a young age, I’ve always had an interest in cultural diversity as it relates to how we design and inhabit space. As a result, my images explore and document our built environment.
More than 20 years ago I received my first commission, photographing the Philip Johnson-designed ddc furniture showroom on Madison Avenue for an advertisement published in the New York Times. Since then, I have photographed the interior design and architecture of many high-end retail establishments, residential homes, and the workplaces of international corporations such as Mitsubishi Finance, Elite Model Management, and Japan Society. My work has been published in AD, Dwell, Elle Décor, Robb Report, Wallpaper, and elsewhere.
Throughout my career, I have developed and maintained collaborative relationships with many talented people, including architects, designers, marketing agents, content producers, stylists, art directors and brand ambassadors.
When I’m not traveling for projects out of town, I live in the countryside near Indianapolis with my Hoosier wife, two kids, and several pets, always ready to photograph that next inspiring space or structure.

"Robert is truly able to capture the essence of a space in a photograph. He is great to work with and a real professional."
Mark Cunningham, Mark Cunningham Inc.
"As an interior designer, professional photographs of our work are a foundational pillar in building our business. Robert's images are thoughtfully composed, beautifully styled, and expertly lit. He employs a range of techniques to craft images which capture not only the physical details of a space, but also the intangible feeling and sensation of being in them. I love his use of natural light, but his technical lighting is also superb. He knows what will work and what won't, but is tireless in pushing and experimenting until every shot is just so. To top it all off, Robert has a pleasant, easy going attitude, professional work ethic, and a warm heart. Highly recommended!"

Drew Aaron - CEO of The Aaron Group of Companies
"I cannot say enough about working with Robert and his staff. He was very easy to work with through all stages of the project. He is meticulous and a constant professional. The images he shot says it all! We will be more than honored to work with Robert again on our next project."

"Robert is highly skilled with amazing technical knowledge and a very discerning eye for the perfect frame... That coupled with his work ethic and his ability to get the job done, make him a home run... I would not use anyone else for ddc photography...he is bar none!!"
Babak Hakakian, ddc Managing Partner
"Having traveled the world as a professional model for the last 18 years, one of my highlights was working with Robert as he shot me and my five dogs in our New York apartment. He not only took gorgeous pictures of me and my canine family which I will cherish forever, but did it with such ease which made the day feel like play and not work! I can't wait for the next time I have an opportunity to shoot with him... and I know my pups feel the same!"
Kristine Szabo, Actor & Professional Model
"I have worked with Robert on numerous projects, and he always beats my expectations. I've found him to be extremely professional and dependable. He's the first person I think to call when I have a challenging space that needs to be photographed"
Jason Popkin, Architect - Zaskorski & Asscociates Architects
"We hired Robert to photograph several of our recent projects for our website and marketing materials. He was referred to us from a well-known Manhattan architect who previously worked with him and highly praised his work. We truly appreciated Robert's artistic sense and vision after seeing the stunning photographs of our first shoot. He captured the fine details of our craftsmanship and understood the space and the changing effects of the light. In addition to producing beautiful photographs, Robert was very easy to work with, was extremely professional, and responded timely to each and every one of our concerns. Thanks to Robert's artistic ability and vision along with his attention to detail, the photographs on our website and marketing materials are helping us reach our target clients and are helping us expand our business. We will definitely work with Robert again and we strongly recommend him."
Lior Golan, President - Prestige Custom Building & Construction, Inc.
"We hired Robert to photograph our penthouse design project located in New York City. This location with floor to ceiling windows on most of the perimeter walls, required a great deal of skill and equipment to capture the skyline, along with the well appointed design details in each room. There were challenges working with the changing light during the day and at dusk which Robert skillfully handled with angle and equipment choices. Robert and his assistant worked 2 long days, barely stopping for lunch, to meet our photo list and agreed contract. Robert impressed the Greenauer Design Group staff with his flexibility, cooperation and undertaking of what we wanted to achieve with the photographs. He also accommodated a request for a quick post production on a few key photos, to allow us the opportunity to add the project to a regional magazine article we were being featured in, a week later. The finished photographs exceeded our expectations. We will certainly use his services on future projects."
Melissa Greenauer - Greenauer Design Group, Inc.
"Robert did such an amazing job capturing one of my most cherished design projects in Belize. The house sits on a hill top deep in the jungle of the Cayo District near San Ignacio Town. He framed up some of the most important architectural details of the house and most impressively, was able to convey the magical quality of light as well as the expansive jungle views that can be seen from each room. Having photographs of this caliber, of a project that I worked so hard on, is truly priceless. He understands architectural details so well that I truly trust his creative eye and professionalism. I am looking forward to working with Robert again on more of my projects."
Brendan O' Donoghue - ODS
"Amazing photographer! He and his assistant were fun and easy to work with and considerate of the client's privacy and designer's needs. I was also very pleased with the pricing on the photoshoot. I know this process can be very expensive in general and I felt Robert's willingness to stay within my budget and still capture all the shots I needed at a fair price was outstanding. I am super happy with the results and will definitely hire him again for the upcoming completed projects."
