Recognized as one of the leading photographers in the broadcast industry, Bob has twice been named Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographers Association, and was co-recipient of a National Emmy. He has received more than 30 major broadcast industry honors and awards including two National Emmy nominations. Currently Bob shoots for national network broadcasts including CBS NEWS, 48 HOURS, 60 MINUTES, NBC NEWS TODAY, DATELINE; ABC EVENING NEWS, PRIME TIME LIVE AND 20/20. He served as Director of Photography on several commercial productions, including spots for US Homes, Christy Sports, BlackJack Pizza and Peerless Tires, and image campaign spots for Jones Intercable. He directed a series of half-hour programs called "Computer Kids" and an image campaign for Lafayette State Banks. He was one of the principal developers of the 48 Hours style for CBS News, and helped create the style of the CBS News "News Movie" called "Before Your Eyes". He created the look and style and directed the initial series for Animal Planet called "Emergency Vets". Bob is the President of Helical Post, a video post production facility in Denver, Colorado. Helical Post has an animation and graphics department that won a National Emmy for work on an animation for the Disney Channel, and a complete audio post production facility.
Bob's company is currently handling post production of a new series on the OutDoor Living Network. It's called "Global Extremes", and will culminate this summer with a climb of Mt. Everest which will be broadcast live for the first time. A one hour special on the series will be broadcast later this summer on ABC.
Bob is also producing a series of video programs called "Shoot Like a Pro", designed to teach new photographers how to tell stories with video. The series will include programs on story construction, lighting, sound, shooting for the edit, and advanced story-telling. The first program of the series is available now.
