Portrait of the Photographer

Architectural photographer Robert Pepple (1963-) has spent the last 30 years developing his relationship with light, composition and architecture. His start in the field of photography came from a high school photography course elective, where one of his works was submitted and ultimately selected for the Florida State Fair Gallery. This image received the "Governor's Award" for the photography category and was the catalyst that started his career in photography.

He continued his photography education at the prestigious School of Photographic Arts and Sciences within the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY, receiving his BS in Professional Photography (1985). Pepple was born on an Air Force base in Plattsburgh, NY in 1963. As an Air Force brat, he and his family moved every 2-3 years. He was fortunate enough to have lived in northern Italy for 3 1/2 years (the longest he would stay in any one place as a child). During that time he and family travelled all over Italy (and some of Germany, also), The things and places he saw helped to develop his unique perspective on photography as an art form. The architecture he saw during these times, and he couldn’t know then, would solidify his future as an architectural photographer. Another positive by-product of being an Air Force brat was the need to make friends quickly and get along with others. Every two years or so there was a new batch of friends to develop. This makes Robert someone who is easy to get to know and work with. This experience also taught Robert the importance of long-term relationships and he works diligently at building these with his clients.

An understanding of spatial relationships and the power of graphic elements within a photograph are some of the distinctive attributes that make Pepple’s work such an incredible document of architectural pieces. Appreciating the fact that, in the digital age, what happens after the shot is just as important as what happens in the shot, Robert takes the time to learn new techniques in digital retouching and compositing to ensure the integrity and spirit of the space is fully captured and represented in the final image.

His clients include commercial interior design firms, architects, design-build firms. construction firms, real state investment trusts (REITs), commercial real estate management firms, etc.. With Jacksonville, FL as his home base since 1994, Robert has travelled nation-wide for his clients and will continue to do so from this river city by the sea.
