Roban did an absolutely incredible job!
He was willing to chat about the detail needed for the event as well as how to best capture the moment. He showed up promptly and was responsive and attentive all night. I had multiple people comment on his positive attitude.
After the event he did an amazing job turning the photos around in a timely manner. And most important of all the photos were incredible. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!!!

“Having worked with many talented photographers over the years, I found Robert Bengston to be in his own league. Robert instantly attunes to his subject and their intention, and has the gift of capturing the essence of a person and their project. If you want truly great photos, and a fun and inspiraitonal time shooting them, look no further.”

Roban is an incredibly gifted photographer. He captures an essence of authenticity in his portraits that distinguishes him from the rest. He produced exactly what I was hoping for and I couldn’t have been happier. He’s knowledgeable, professional and a delight to work with. I look forward to working with him again. Highly recommended!

The quality of the work is excellent. Over many years, we have done family portrait sessions, head shots and larger site specific commercial and residential photography commissions and all have produced wonderful results. Roban is engaging and professional and very easy to work with. His eye for detail and capturing individuals or creative & interesting aspects of places & venues is a delight. Provides terrific value for the services-highly recommend.

I highly recommend Roban. He went above and beyond when taking my portrait for my gardening business. He made me feel comfortable with my tools in an outdoor setting and captured an unexpected shot that I use for my marketing materials. Clients have commented on the quality of the photo more than once. It speaks more than words!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All quoted pricing includes all the actual photography coverage needed, plus the post-production, travel, and digital file delivery. Images are presented as high-quality jpeg files, sized as per your needs. All usage rights are also included, i.e. no hidden fees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A key ingredient, of course, is getting clear about what's wanted / needed. For this I prefer getting on a phone call to connect in real time which is also a great opportunity to get to know each other better and answer any questions. After the conversation, I'll follow-up with an email confirming what was discussed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a professional photographer for over 25 years, having documented pretty much everything you can imagine through a camera lens, from portraits to products to events to travel to fashion to food to art to you name it.
