Photography Partner
Robert Catto is a Canadian-Kiwi photographer in Sydney Australia, specialising in performing arts, live events, editorial and corporate / commercial work. Having trained as a lighting designer for theatre, dance and opera, his work is driven by that experience and knowledge of how to light a subject. Photography is quite similar to lighting in a lot of ways – except the camera is the audience, rather than the source of light. BoB immensely enjoys sessions with Robert Catto, not least because they result in a large number of excellent photos to choose from (or in our case, simply pick them all!)
All photos on this website are by Robert Catto.
