Robert Ortiz

CANDID, EMOTIVE, UNOBTRUSIVE, and ARTISTIC Wedding Photography

Born in 1959 to a Cuban American immigrant family. My photographic career began at the early age of 15 photographing the people and scenery of Port Chester, NY. It was back in the mid-70s that I covered my first wedding. During the seventies, I developed my love for photography and decided to attend College, University of Miami, and get a degree in the field. After completing art and communication courses, I graduated in 1983 with a Fine Arts and Communications degree from the University of Miami. While living in Miami, I exhibited my work at various galleries and performed freelance work for the Miami Herald. In 1992, I became part of a five-man team working as an associate cinematographer and photographer for MOONDRAGON PRODUCTIONS. It was there that I spent time in the Amazon jungle of Peru producing a documentary of the "Orellana" native people and their culture. In 1996, I moved to Rochester, NH inspired by the beauty I found after spending time on vacation in NH. You can find me as a juried member in the New Hampshire Art Association in Portsmouth, NH. In 2004, I opened "Robert Ortiz Photography & Videography". In 2021, I became the main Photographer for a new magazine called "603 Diversity", an offshoot of New Hampshire Magazine. I currently reside with my very beautiful wife Sherry, my 15-year daughter photo assistant Isabella, company mascot-11-year-old son Alex, and our puggle dog named Bruno -
