Robert DiScalfani Biography
Robert DiScalfani has been an editorial and commercial photographer in New York for over twenty years. Though most of his past work was created for the commercial market, his aesthetic style stems from his background and true love of fine art photography and film. Robert studied photography at SUNY Buffalo during the time of Cindy Sherman, Robert Longo and Les Krims, and has since traveled the world to shoot for fashion, editorials, still life, portraits and his fine art. From 2007-2009 Robert opened and ran a photography gallery in Brooklyn, Bond Street Gallery, showing such artists as Walker Evans, Bruce Davidson and Harold Feinstein.
Robert has recently traveled to India, Vietnam, The Philippines, and Cambodia to film for the US based children’s charity ‘SmileTrain,’ and the prime time CBS show ‘The Doctors.’ His food photography has led him to shoot Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook as well as the Da Silvano Cookbook by chef and restaurateur Silvano Marchetto.
As a cinematographer Robert has shot for an independent feature length film titled Perception by writer/director Wade Wofford. Aside from his recent photographic portrait project Varanasi, Robert has been working on a series called Three Mornings in Brooklyn- capturing urban landscapes in his native Brooklyn, New York. Subway Series, Robert’s long running project, has found him favorable acclaim in Gothenburg’s Photography Festival in Sweden and in New York.
