Meet Bob

Visual Communications Specialist

History:

Bob has been photographing all over the world for many years. His first camera was a Pentax K1000 film camera purchased during a student exchange trip to Japan. He is now an expert on practically any camera and lighting system format and continues to develop his techniques even now.

While still in high school, he began volunteering as a photographer at Monday Magazine, where he was mentored by Mike Gluss, the magazine's head photographer. Mike spent several years working in Toronto, Montreal, and New York, service the magazine, commercial, and fashion industries before taking over the photo department at Monday Magazine.

Bob then launched a photographic production firm in Vancouver before travelling to Toronto to work with some of the industry's finest photographers. He worked as a senior assistant and lighting specialist for Skip Dean, Struan Campbell Smith, William Santillo, Yuri Dojc, and many more. After six years of shooting in Toronto, he returned to Vancouver to co-found a photography school with Mike Gluss and Kriss Kann.

He was instrumental in the establishment of the Western Academy of Photography. It was developed to teach beginners and advanced hobbyists about photography as a profession. The school hosted advanced workshops with prominent professionals from around North America.

For 14 years, Bob worked in Asia as a photographer, designer, and creative director. He worked and shot in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand.

He now lives and works on Canada's West Coast, but he travels the world on assignment.
