About Robert G Allen Photography

Welcome to Robert G Allen Photography. I'm a professional multi-disciplinary freelance commercial and editorial photographer based in the USA Pacific Northwest.

While my career has primarily been as a professional event photographer, the content on this website represents other areas of photography for which I have professional competency and enjoyment. The resulting front page photos and single subject galleries are the result of a combination of client assignments and personal areas of interest.

I developed an interest in photography soon after digital cameras came onto the market in the late 1990s. My early experiences primarily involved photographing family events (birthdays, outings, celebrations, travel etc…). Those early experiences allowed me to refine my photography craft in preparation of offering services to individual clients and organizations.

My approach to composition and post processing is straight forward. My preference is to capture images utilizing naturally occurring available light and color, occasionally utilizing supplemental lighting if needed, such as in a studio environment or low light setting. If warranted, I will remove minor distracting elements within a composition. I do not use sky replacement, fake bokeh or AI in my photos. I do not make misleading changes to photographs that would materially alter the scene as it originally existed.

If you have questions, comments or have an idea for an assignment, please contact me. Also, be sure to visit my blog to view additional information.
