Trained as a musician, Robert Rodriguez Jr. earned a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music in 1985, and graduated with a Bachelor's degree and honors. Music was the first medium he chose to express himself and grow as an artist as well as a human being. Over the first 15 years of his professional life, he was a successful musical arranger and producer, working for several record labels including Sony Music, Disney, and Warner Bros. He eventually established his own media production facility where he recorded and mixed hundreds of records, and achieved national recognition and awards throughout the industry. Always evolving as an artist, Robert became a professional landscape photographer, and it has become his passion and new direction for creative expression. 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. His photography is also showcased and used for promotional purposes by Scenic Hudson, a non-profit organization dedicated to land and nature preservation in the Hudson Valley.

In addition, Robert is a respected educator in all aspects of photography including field work and digital editing and printing. He now teaches photography workshops, gives seminars in the region on a regular basis, and has been an invited speaker to industry associations. He holds certifications from Adobe and is an Apple Certified Consultant.

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.
