ABOUT ROBERT STOLPE:  

I became interested in Photography as a teen in the 1960's. I was an editor for my high school yearbook. Although I wasn't taking photographs, I was intrigued by the power of the images. The other major influence was music. My high school offered a class trip to see Simon and Garfunkel in concert. I found the energy that performers generated was incredible. I borrowed a single lense reflex camera with a zoom lense from a friend for a Cat Stevens Concert. I got one shot that was good enough to enlarge into an 8 x 10. It was a beginning of Concert and Performer Photography that continues today.

I started pursuing a photographic career in the 1990's. I was living in South Florida and discovered Fotofusion at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre in Delray Beach. At the first Fotofusion I met Susan Knowles, a professional photographer looking for an assistant. I started assisting her and eventually started to shoot with her. Today I do my own photography and also work with a number of fine photographic studios in South Florida.

I owe my transition from amateur photographer to professional photographer ultimately to Fatima and Art Nejame of the Palm Beach Photographic Centre for creating a special Photographic Organization dedicated to the Art of Photography.
