About Artist

Ralph Robbins

A lifelong admirer of the visual world, I discovered my passion for photography at age six when I first held a camera and began seeing stories through a lens. During my business career, I had limited time for photography. Since retiring, I have embraced this long-standing passion with renewed enthusiasm. Numerous workshops and courses with master teachers have accelerated my learning. This chapter is my creative renaissance, and I am dedicated to pushing the limits of excellence, one frame at a time. I have received several honorable mentions and high rankings in competitions. I continue to pursue excellence. Besides landscape, nature, and portrait photography, I donate my time and expertise to document and preserve social impact events.
