ROBERT TURNER has been working professionally with a camera for more than twenty years. Before turning to images of the natural world he worked in film. As president of Spectrum Films, Inc. he shot on locations from the high Andes of Peru to the streets of Manhattan. He and his partners wrote and directed more than sixty non-fiction films. Their productions were honored with forty-six national and international film festival awards.

Bob now devotes all of his energies to large format, fine art, wildlands photography, logging over 40,000 miles a year in pursuit of the light on the land. He has quickly gained recognition in the art photography scene. His work, which will be featured in a number of museum and gallery shows in the upcoming year, hangs in private collections across the United States as well as in many countries in Europe and Asia. His prints also reside in numerous corporate collections, including those of SprintPCS, A G Edwards, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte & Touche, and ResMed. His images are identified by their strong composition, rich use of color, and sense of depth. They are sold in galleries in New York, Denver, Santa Fe, Yosemite National Park, and Newport Beach, California, as well as Jakarta, Indonesia.

Bob grew up steeped in the natural history of the forests of northern New Jersey and the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. A longtime member of the Audubon society, he is an avid birder and conservationist. He studied anthropology and fine art at the University of Colorado. After college he lived and worked in highland Peru for several years. When not traveling the back roads of the country he lives with his wife in Carlsbad, California.
