Artist Statement
"I am driven to
create photographic images that capture the feeling of experiencing
something that is unique and wondrous in nature. As long as I can
remember, the natural world and its many beautiful forms have always
resonated deeply within me. Photography allows me to express my vision,
and enjoy my passion for the outdoors.
I'll never forget
the feeling many years ago, standing on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon
in
awe and amazement
at what I was seeing and feeling. I knew then that my passion for the
natural world would only grow, and capturing it photographically would
become my artistic outlet. My endeavor to create fine art prints that
capture those feelings, and bring rare and unique moments when light and
land combine in a magical way, into our daily lives.
My current work
centers on images of the Hudson Valley that express a personal vision, and
convey s stronger sense of its dramatic and natural landscape. While this
approach is more challenging, I find it is also the most rewarding.
Ultimately, my goal is to create images that make a visual and emotional
connection with the viewer."
Trained as a musician, Robert Rodriguez Jr.
earned a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music, and music was the
first medium he chose to express himself and grow as an artist as well as a
human being.
He was a successful musical arranger and producer, working for many
record labels including Sony Music, Disney and Warner Brothers. He
established his own media production facility recording and mixing hundreds
of arrangements, some of which achieved national recognition and awards.
Robert uses the highest quality equipment available today to create
finely detailed, expressive prints. He takes pride in a hands on approach,
working on every stage of a master print, from the initial exposure and
processing, to printing using archival inks and highest quality papers. His
prints have been purchased by private collectors and commercial clients
throughout North America.
Living and photographing in the beautiful Hudson Valley and beyond has
given Robert a broad palette of natural wonders to experience, explore and
ultimately share with others.
Robert is a member of the National Association of Nature Photographers
and Beacon Arts Community Association.
Photographs are available in several sizes,
