About

I photograph the moment just before a person remembers they’re being seen.

I’m Robert Strauss — an editorial and portrait photographer working in natural and shaped light. My work lives between fashion and the documentary: unhurried, honest, and built around feeling rather than pose. Every frame here is chosen for a single emotion it manages to hold.
