— The photographer

A practiced eye on
the natural world.

Robert Castellino began photographing in Oregon in the winter of 1985, while he was VP of Operations and Marketing at Willamette Pass Ski Area. In 1991 he attended his first workshop with the late National Geographic staff photographer Sam Abell — a turning point in his work.

Now based in Lafayette, Colorado, he photographs the Rocky Mountains, the desert Southwest, the national parks, oceans and islands, and the quieter subjects close to home — with a single goal: to connect people with nature through fine art photography.
