St. Louis based photographer, Rob Gilmore, has been honing his photography skills for three decades. Originally a commercial photographer who enjoyed doing more traditional landscapes, Rob’s work continues to evolve in a more nuanced direction and is influenced by diverse artists such as Japanese woodblock artists, romantic era painters and poets, photographic pictorialists, organic architects and songwriters. Rob’s work focuses on natural light compositions emphasizing texture, light and tone — and the way natural things intersect with man made things. Rob feels that nature, in all its forms is essential to our well being, and we are happier when we let the outside in.
