Robert Patrik Winston began his journey into the world of Photography at the age of ten when he entered a photography contest where he won first place and was awarded his first Kodak Instamatic Camera.
His formal education in Photography was short but sweet, instructed by John Willis, Professor of Photography at both Marlboro College and Harvard University. Robert received the highest grade in his class and was catapulted into the world, living, working and Photographing on five continents by his thirtieth birthday.
After college, Robert co-founded The King George School, a Private Visual and Performing Arts Boarding School in the North East Kingdom of Vermont, where he founded and taught the Photography, Film and Cinema Departments.
Robert then moved to Manhattan to co-managed a fine art gallery in Chelsea's Art District, and worked with Photographers and Artists such as Andres Seranno, Martin Cooper and David Levinthal, as well as Environmental Artist Peter Fend who shared an open space gallery on the 97th floor of the World Trade Center.
After 9/11 Robert moved to Helsingborg, Sweden then later to Copenhagen, Denmark where he spent three years studying the art and photography masters in the historically rich city of Copenhagen, as well as creating a solo exhibition at Butzbach Art, titled "Bush, Buddah and the Book of Changes."
During the lat decade, Robert has been traveling and exploring the west coast, photographing the natural habitats from Seattle, Washington to San Diego, California. Robert's passion is beauty, in all it's forms, and challenges himself to live the poet John Keates quote, "Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty."
Most recently, Robert has been working with Sustainable Fashion Designer, Jeff Garner of Prophetik, shooting fashion models and catwalk shows in the Los Angeles Area.
Robert lives and works in Malibu, California.
