Hi! I’m Robb. And I’m a little bit left of center.
And honestly? That’s probably my superpower.
The truth is, I’m neurodivergent. In all aspects of life, I see, feel, and do things a little differently than most. It’s especially true when it comes to photography, because I’m not driven by technical perfection – I’m driven by telling honest stories through images that hold soul and emotion.
I’ve always said “I don’t create moments, I capture them.”
To quote a photographer friend I admire: “I find deep meaning in telling honest stories.”
That’s exactly what I want my images to do for you – to mean as much to you as creating them means to me.
I’m based in Sooke on Vancouver Island, serving families across Victoria, Langford, Colwood and beyond. I specialize in youth sports photography – football, soccer, baseball, rugby and more. I tell stories, and I want to tell yours.
As a parent of a young athlete myself, I understand the emotional, financial, and time investment that goes into every game. That’s why I aim to deliver meaningful, high-quality sports photojournalism that’s actually accessible to families like yours.
Over the past 30 years behind the lens, I’ve had the privilege to shoot everything from weddings to music festivals. I’ve hung out of helicopters, photographed airplanes in formation, stood on the ice at NHL arenas, stood on stage with world-famous DJ’s, captured provincial championships, and used my camera to shoot from the gun window of a WWII bomber.
Honestly, I’ve been lucky beyond words in my photographic adventures.
What drives me isn’t technical awards or flawless textbook shots – it’s crafting images that make people feel something. To tell a story. It’s how I’d love to tell your story – with a little creative weirdness, a lot of heart, and zero fear of trying something different.
If you’re looking for someone laid-back, kind of offbeat, and totally committed to capturing your moments in a way that feels real, reach out and let’s have a conversation.
A bit about my journey…
My first digital Camera was a Kodak Digital Science DC210 Plus that I bought in 1999, while still living in Calgary. Prior to that, I was shooting on a Pentax Super ME film camera, and wasting BUNDLES of money on developing film.
It wasn’t until I was living in a little podunk town in Northern Alberta that I actually got serious about photography. I was sitting on the couch one night in the dead of winter, watching a movie on TV. Through the curtains, I could see moving light flowing back and forth, and when I went outside to see what was happening, I saw the most dazzling, brilliant, purple and green Auroras, dancing across a crystal clear jet-black skies.
I ran into the house to get my little digital camera (which by then, was a Kodak LS443) and tried to get photos of the absolutely incredible display, but failed, miserably. The next day, I drove into town and bought my first DSLR at London Drugs in South Edmonton Common – and picked my first “real” DSLR: a Canon EOS 300D.
And ever since I got that 300D, I have been doing everything in my power to make the next photo I take better than the last. And loving every moment of the journey.
