Photographic images transcend language. Through visual art, a photographer pauses moments in time so that they become eternal. An independent artist, Robin Pendergrast strives to deliver evocative images to realize his artistic vision: to provide intriguing and creative depictions of the subjects he photographs.

Robin’s photojournalistic style is driven by a conscientious appreciation for the natural beauties of this earth—from the people and creatures that inhabit it to the man-made structures and natural wonders that occupy its surface.

The photographic art you’ll view within these galleries showcases Robin’s ability to elicit uninhibited beauty from a wide range of subjects and spaces. Peruse our image galleries to discover the versatility of Robin’s craft, which encompasses commercial, aerial, architectural, portrait, theatrical, wedding, human interest and travel photography.

Artist’s Profile

At age nine, Robin picked up a brownie camera while on the set of a Northern Illinois Gas Company (now Nicor) shoot, where his father served as director of publicity. The moment piqued young Robin’s interest and a life-long love affair with picture-making ensued. Now, with more than 35 years of experience as a professional photographer—and 25 years as a videographer—Robin has carved a niche among the Midwest’s highest echelon of active artists.

The essence of Robin’s visual mission is to develop an individual creative endeavor for all photography and video opportunities. Without this mantra—operating on all assignments both large and small—the creative process is incomplete.
