Robert Schlatter graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology and the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City, where he was the assistant of photographer, Irving Penn. Schlatter started his career in Paris, working on in-house projects for Hermès and Christian Dior as well as editorial fashion and portrait assignments for various French, German and Swiss magazines. An ad campaign for Levi’s brought him to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he is living today. He now splits his time as a commercial/editorial portrait and still life photographer between California and New York. His first Monograph “Ghost Man” is a return to his roots in documentary photography.
