Rob Gilbert is Vancouver based headshot and portrait photographer that has made a significant impact in the photographic world with his iconic portraits of global figures such as Bill Clinton, Justin Trudeau, and Amal Clooney as well as his highly sought after headshots for performers and executives. His photographic style, which is noted for world-class lighting, and a unique ability to direct talent of all backgrounds has made him the photographer of choice for actors, dancers, artists and executives, locally and beyond. So much so that often, extending beyond headshots and world portraits, families, couples and individuals wanting to capture themselves in an artistic fashion will often seek Rob out to capture special moments in time in his Railtown studio.

In a shifting world where all art forms are being disrupted by technology platforms and Artificial Intelligence, an artist’s unique perspective and technical talent matters more than it ever has.

His artistic perspective is informed by a life that started in a log cabin on 300 acres of land in Prince George, BC and has led to an international career in portraiture that has seen him build a global client base of the world's top leaders, corporate executives, film and television stars, artists and philanthropists. He brings this spectrum of experience to bear when directing his subjects to draw out and capture the authentic personalities of his clients in world class portraits that are difficult to replicate.

Now based in Vancouver, BC, Rob's journey has taken him from Northern BC to an early career learning from some of the greatest photographers Canada has produced, to becoming one of Canada’s top photographers with a talent that is sought after around the world. Travelling globally to capture his shots, Rob’s client base extends beyond Canada and into New York, LA, London, Berlin, and Dubai among others.

In this evolving world of filters and technology, where one never knows what is real and what is not, Rob’s ability to authentically capture the distinctly human elements of his subjects’ personalities through his directing talent and signature lighting techniques is becoming a truly rare art form. His clients recognize this and continue to work with Rob to achieve superior photographs that capture their spirit, drive and energy in a way that technology never will be able to.
