Bio

An emerging photographer with a background in translation and music, Robert Claus has been exploring drawing, composition, and theater since an early age. Born in Germany, he relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area after graduating from the University of London. 

Attending a major retrospective of David Hockney in 2014 inspired him to return to his childhood love of photography. A self-taught artist, he has since studied under Gina Militia, and taken workshops and classes from Ed Kashi, Neal Menschel, and Oleg Savunov (at Stanford), as well as Joel Grimes (remote), among others.

Robert Claus tends to draw on still life for his subjects, but has also ventured into portraiture and landscapes. He has produced several book-length curated projects that range from theater work to abstract still-life composition, and travel.

Now starting to enter open calls in the United States, and abroad, he is actively seeking opportunities to share his work with a wider audience.
