| Robert Vizzini
was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1952. Early influences include the
new medium of television and images from the first years of space
exploration. A chance encounter with Edward Weston’s photographs
also created a marked impression. The photographer’s work, featured
on a Today show segment in 1960, captured a world of beauty in nature
and everyday objects through still lifes and images of the California
coast. “In a real sense, he taught me to see.” says Robert, who finds in the expanse of nature a freedom he has been looking for from childhood—release from painful self-absorption and a trust in the eternal. This feeling of liberation fuels his drive to pursue photography and accounts for much of the subject matter he chooses. Robert lives in New York City and has produced portfolios from his travels to Cuba, Tuscany, Nebraska, Cape Cod, Miami, Death Valley, and Mono Lake. He has made a recent trip to Iceland to photograph its volcanic terrain, and plans to return there. His photographs have been shown in numerous exhibitions since 1994 and are held in many private and public collections, among them the Bibliotèque Nationale de France in Paris and the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach, Fla. Robert was the first recipient of the International Photography Awards, New Discovery Award in 2003. |
