Robert Wakeland

Originally from Chicago. Ended up in NYC by way of San Francisco. Currently calling the Lower East Side home for about 12 years now. In this specific collection of work, most of my captures were found during my daily commute. Sometimes I have something specific in mind, but I’ve found a random approach seems to produce the most interesting results. I’ve been working as a creative in the advertising industry for several years. That’s enabled me to work with some of the best photographers out there. So naturally, I just watched what they did, and learned on my own. This series of images captures New York in both traditional and unique ways.
