This was shot with a Hasselblad but the cross-processing was reversed - using Kodak transparency film but processing it C-41 as a negative. I then color printed these myself in a color darkroom for publication. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/2/pf-media/002-phone.jpg002-phoneRunner's World editor, Liz Reap, said 'Can you get a phone and bring it somewhere remote?' The story was about how Runner's World editors could and would answer anyone's questions about running. So I rented a full-on payphone - the kind on a pedestal that you used to see at airports. I loaded the whole 6' phone booth into my Isuzu Trooper and drove with a model to the Black Rock Desert, North of Reno Nevada. Yes, the same place that hosts Burning Man, though this would have been back when they had only hosted one or two up there. We drove two miles out onto the salt flats and then shot him hoping away from the phone, question answered! Shot cross-processed, Fuji transparency film processed as a negative (C-41), then printed by me for the magazine. Once the sun set it was completely black, there was no way we could find where we had entered. We had to camp there for the night in order to find our way out in the morning. I used to say that if an image made me laugh like Beavis and Butthead while I was shooting it, I knew it would be good. And, this still makes me smile every time I see it. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/3/pf-media/003-LaughingDesigner.jpg003-LaughingDesignerA very early assignment for a computer magazine based in San Francisco, this image is of a seamstress. The project had me photograph six different people in various fields, with the same cross-processed film. The background is lit with hot lights, not LED, but actual tungsten Pepper hot lights, while the face is strobed. I vigorously shook my Hasselblad 500CM while exposing the film for a full second. The subject was frozen by the strobe, then she was instantly in relative darkness as the exposure built and 'moved' in the background during the remaining full second exposure. Fuji Reala negative film was over exposed by 2 stops and then E6 processed as a positive transparency (slide). The techinique took precision, but then the results were random. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/4/pf-media/004-BANKER.jpg004-BANKEROne of my first magazine assignments - photographing the CEO of Silicon Valley Bank, John Dean. This was shot with tungsten film (hence the blue cast) with a full CTO orange gel on the strobe. I have always liked this image because I was able to get this CEO to pose in a such an unusual way. Shot on a Nikon with a 180mm lens. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/5/pf-media/005-JDANIELS.jpg005-JDANIELSDefinitely one of my favorite portraits of my career - infamous running coach, Jack Daniels. Photographed in the mid 90s in Phoenix, AZ at sunset standing on a track where he had been coaching all day. Shot hand held on a Hasselblad with an 80mm lens, a small soft-box on a strobe powered by a battery that I had just bought. He always wore that hat. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/6/pf-media/006-TOILETWO.jpg006-TOILETWOI met her at a shoot and she asked if I could do a headshot because she wanted to move into broadcasting. After some basic portraits, we spent an hour playing with my then favorite cross-processing technique. Kodak VPL negative film, over-exposed 2.5 stops with a full and a half CTO gel (orange) on the strobe. The film was then processed as a transparency (E6), usually pushed at least a half stop. Add to that a Pepper 150 tungsten hot light with a focusing snoot that would project the circles of the light's Fresnel lens onto the background. Shot at a full second exposure holding a Hasselblad 500CM with an 80mm lens over my head upside down, manually focusing each frame, then shaking the camera as I exposed. That still doesn't explain the location. Our 2500 square foot studio in San Francisco's can building had a 500 square foot bathroom. We stored our gear on huge racks next to three of these toilet stalls. Seemed like a good idea for a location at the time. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/7/pf-media/007-13R.jpgLifestyle photography by editorial and advertising photographer Robert HouserIn the late 90s I started aiming to shoot a lot more "caught moments." This one, of an advertising executive was shot for Adweek on the top floor of a parking structure in North Beach in San Francisco. Shot on Kodak transparency film with a Hasselblad and a 50mm lens. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/8/pf-media/008-03R.jpg008-03RThe assignment: shoot a fake album cover for a real band. It would be featured on Don Johnson and Cheech Marin's cop show, Nash Bridges. The show's prop master used to call me when they needed an image that would appear on the show, either in a frame, a magazine cover, or this album cover (as in record, not CD). This was a real San Francisco based band that had a cameo and at some point in the show, Don Johnson was to hold their recent "album." It was shot on cross processed slide film - processed C41 and printed. The image was made on Treasure Island in the huge hanger that Nash Bridges was using as a sound stage. Shot with available light toward a roll up door with a Hasselblad and a 250mm f4 lens. The center guy became my logo for about 15 years. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/9/pf-media/009-36L.jpg009-36LI always loved pushing the limits of film processing in the 90s and some editors, like Liz Reap at Runner's World really let me play. The assignment: recovering from foot pain caused by running. This image of a model on a beach in Point Reyes, CA was shot on slide film with a Hasselblad 202FA (focal plane shutter) and a 100 f2 lens (my favorite). The slide film was then process as a negative and printed by me for the magazine's cover. One of the first times that the cover did not feature a full frame of a person running. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/10/pf-media/010-moving_rope.jpgclimbing rope . magazine assignmentOK, I don't really shoot products, but once in a while it's part of a shoot. One of my favorite images of things-without-a-pulse was shot for a Buyer's Guide for Eco Traveler magazine. This climbing rope image was shot in my San Francisco studio on the same day that I photographed Gary Fisher, Galen Rowell, Emilio Scotto and Rick Steves - they all brought their 'favorite' holiday gift ideas. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/11/pf-media/011-19R.jpg011-19REach new camera system allows one's work to modify and grow. I bought Hasselblad's 202FA body because unlike most Hasselblads it has a focal plane shutter - a shutter in the body not on the lens. This meant I was able to use their 100 f2 lens â a wider aperture/ faster lens than you could get in any medium format camera at the time. This allowed me push the envelope of hand held available light images, and this image was one of my early favorites. Shot on transparency film, it took hours to find this location on Stanford's campus where the existing light would come together perfectly for just 10-15 minutes. I shot this law professor handheld at f2.5. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/12/pf-media/012-22L.jpg012-22LAnother opportunity to use existing light with my Hasselblad and 100 f2 lens came with this assigned image of an engineer at Cisco. The image was taken around the back of and underneath a round staircase. PR people always wondered where I was going as I scouted for 90 minutes before each shoot. Windows and metal - pulled me like a magnet. Shot wide open on daylight balance chrome (transparency) film. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/13/pf-media/013-10R.jpgMilton Friedman - economist - photographed at his home in San Francisco by editorial photographer Robert HouserI go up the elevator of this North Beach (San Francisco) apartment building with an assistant and my usual six cases of gear. 'No, no,' says the economist, Milton Friedman, 'just one person and one camera. You don't need all this'. So, no lights, one body, one lens, 4 rolls of film - I have 30 seconds, decide! My assistant was paid to sit in the hallway for the whole shoot with all my other gear. Shot handheld with a Hasselblad 500 CM and an 80mm lens, this image was made during an interview with a reporter from Der Spiegel. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/14/pf-media/014-houser_pair1a.jpgRadiologist portrait in an Interventional Radiology suite by healthcare photographer Robert HouserAn interventional radiology suite, the day they finished construction (as clean and good looking as it would ever look), was shot as this background in 20 seconds on a 17mm lens. The physcian, my wife, was photographed against a blue backdrop in my garage. Taken in 2005, this was my earliest Photoshop composite and the image with which I learned how to use Layers. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/15/pf-media/015-trees.jpg015-treesSome places are just meant to be photographed. One of my first clients was the travel company, Backroads. Over the course of 6 years, I traveled all over the world photographing biking, hiking and skiing tours. This image, was shot in 1992 at Pu'uhonua o HÅnaunau, the Place of Refuge on the big island of Hawaii. In ancient times, if a person who broke a sacred law could make it to this site before being captured, they would be spared from death. I love the image but I also love that I have never forgotten the name Pu'uhonua o HÅnaunau. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/16/pf-media/016-trees_background_7764.1cwfire.jpgFemale firefighter from San Francisco Chinatown station on location by editorial and advertising photographer Robert HouserThe personal project was called Motherhood, but it featured no kids. All the images were composites of working women shot on location. The trees were shot somewhere in Berkeley while on assignment, but the firefighter was a project. I had heard there was a woman who drive the back of the ladder truck in San Francisco's Chinatown, so I went to find her. We found her! And she agreed to let me photograph her while she waited for her lunch, we had just a few minutes. We shot on a street corner in North Beach - right on Broadway, using existing afternoon light from the street, shooting toward traffic. The compositing was a challenge because of her clear eye shield. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/17/pf-media/017-2005_s.shulgin_7695.jpgAlexander Shulgin, in his labWhere to start? This is Alexander Shulgin, in his lab. Shulgin has a cult following because he developed a number of psychoactive drugs and is credited with rediscovering and reintroducing MDMA (Molly, Ecstasy) to the modern world. You can see modern YouTube videos of his lab in Lafayette, CA featuring the space cleaned up and sanitized after his death. However, when I shot this for a Swiss magazine in 2005, they had no intention of showing him in a glowing light. The place was a mess complete with rat droppings, open and broken jars, chemicals and dust strewn everywhere. Hollywood could not have created an uglier, F-ed up scene. And the smell. Yet, he seemed so proud of this space, this 'science lab.' https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/18/pf-media/018-Houser_2005_s.shulgin_7915.jpgAlexander "Sasha" Shulgin, Ph.D. photographed by editorial photographer Robert Houser Alexander Shulgin, Ph.D. and his wife, shot in their kitchen as is, using the single 1960s florescent light fixture above.

She's the Executive Director of the Council on Aging and she has just told me that she is about to undergo chemotherapy. I could see in her eyes that I had just "lost" her; her mind was drifting, leaving the shoot we were so close to finishing. How could I reel her back, back to me, to Union Square to the shoot at hand? I told her I would love to photograph her when she lost her hair, something she could have from the experience. She was not interested and the shoot ended. Years later she called me, quickly blurting out on the phone, 'does your offer still stand?' Yes! About to undergo a bone marrow transplant, she was in the middle of her second round of chemo. Two days later we spent a rainy afternoon drinking tea, eating chocolate, and photographing by the light of an air shaft in her apartment.

Yes, lots of sandbags, oh, and a trampoline, of course. I asked these two professional ballet dancer to interpret the idea of a tango once lofted from the trampoline.

The field of focus was 'swung' so that only his eyes were sharp, which meant he and I had to stay quite still.

Almost every magazine job I did was with a computer related business that was just starting out. In 2000 I averaged over 4.5 shoots a week, and since I tried to take Wednesdays off, that meant I did at least one double a week. This guy worked for LookSmart, anyone remember them? Before Google became ubiquitous there was Yahoo!, Excite and LookSmart - the latter ostensibly reviewing the sites they recommended with real people. Imagine that, search results that were verified by humans. Every time LookSmart hired someone new, which was almost twice a month, they had me come by, late in the afternoon to shoot executive portraits.

Shooting with a 28 mm lens, the lighting presents a problem - you cannot have any light on the table; otherwise, you will see scratches on the glass and reflections, but if you wait too late in the day, you won't have any light under the shoe â remember that everything below the glass has to be wrapped in black. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/65/pf-media/065-Houser_170930_8314.jpgBallet dancer turning shot by San Francisco fitness, dance, editorial and annual report photographer Robert Houser.So I had this idea, could I shoot a ballet dancer twirling, from both directly above, and directly below? That motion and blur contrasted with the stillness of her face. I knew it would be a challenge to get the motion right and it turned out that I needed to shoot at a 1/200th of a second to freeze her face. She had to spot looking straight up. If you have ever done a panned blur shot, you know a long lens accentuates the movement, but with a dancer from above, a long lens was out of the question. I was at 29mm, so not an ideal lens length for panning. I augmented the rotation of the floor in post. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/66/pf-media/066-Houser_170930_5094.jpgBallet portrait photographed by California editorial, advertising, healthcare, annual report and fitness photographer Robert Houser.So what about the view from below. How do I photograph a dancer from the perspective of the floor? And, can she twirl? This half was harder. I ended up building a glass table shooting platform with a 4'x6' sheet of 1" plexiglass that weighs almost 150 pounds. The platform has a 2'x6' deck on either side of the glass for the dancer to stand on, a space to prep herself and to catch herself. The whole thing is elevated 4' in the air, so I needed room post point so she wouldn't fall. Inside (which now doubles as my solar kiln for drying my wood sculptures), I shoot through a small hole in black duvetene. Everything is covered in black duvetene inside; otherwise, I'd see myself in the reflection from the underside of the glass. So yes, it's hot in there, and not easy to be heard from above. But twirling possible? Besides being too slippery to spin safely, the plexiglass scratches very easily when a foot rotates. Static en pointe, with no footprints! https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/67/pf-media/067-Houser_171202_1292.jpgSeeing Blindness - a photographic project examing all types of visual impairedness - by healthcare photographer Robert HouserArriving to the set wearing dark glasses, he told me that he never took them off.

Instead of asking, I told the story of a woman I had photographed for Facing Chemo. She had just had a double mastectomy, chemo and then radiation. She asked if I wanted to photograph the scarring and the burned skin across one side of her chest, and before I could answer, she had removed her shirt to let me photograph.

The exhibit utilized VR on an iPad to simulate the field of vision that these subjects could see.

Then, I just watched her think ... with her limbs. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/77/pf-media/077-Houser_190104_8867-rtv5-2.jpgOn location shoot of amputee athlete by San Francisco advertising, editorial, annual report photographer Robert Houser.Another project for Facing Light was called Adaptive Athletes. I shot Paralympic medalists and Paralympic hopefuls. This guy was on the Cal cycling team in the 90s when their peloton was struck by a driver. Continuing to ride post- amputation he went on to win gold on the track in 2000. The frigid morning of this January shoot, he had the San Jose velodrome opened for us at sunrise. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/78/pf-media/078-Houser_190624_1149-color.jpgFitness portrait shot from below by San Francisco editorial, advertising, healthcare, annual report and fitness photographer Robert Houser.Once I had the glass table set for ballet, I tried it with everything I could imagine. This image of Kendra, another favorite fitness model, doing a backbend in white Lululemon won gold in the ASMP national sports photography competition in 2019. It then won a handful of other global awards later that year. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/79/pf-media/079-Houser_191118_0461-RT.jpgPortrait of SantaSherrie made me Santa with the most amazing beard, eyebrows and hair â and the suit was amazing, I wish I kept it. The snow effect was made by setting a garden hose to mist and letting the afternoon sun backlight the water droplets. Shot on a favorite lens: Sigma Art 105 f1.4 (huge, heavy, sharp and super fast) Shot at f2.8 at 1/160th. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/80/pf-media/080-Houser_200330_9419.jpgScouting images - houseThe fence in my pasture. This old oak is just outside the studio. The goats use the trail under the oak every day on their daily lap keeping the grass fire-safe. Someday this background will be used for something. Until then, I love the moment. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/81/pf-media/081-Houser_200617_2294.jpgCircus performer on a Cyr wheel caputed by fitness advertising photographer Robert HouserIt's the middle of Covid and she literally ran off with the circus. The wheel is called a Cyr wheel and she performs with it for Cirque du Soleil. The crazy thing about this image is that it's not fake. That blacktop is real - she is literally spinning on Skyline Boulevard in the Oakland hills, overlooking the entire Bay Area. I took out a tuft of grass growing in the new blacktop on the left and a twig peaking up in the distance on the right. Another wonderful opportunity to work with someone who plays for a living, even if we did have to have multiple people looking out for cars while I lay in the gutter at the side of the road. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/82/pf-media/082-Houser_201026_3899.jpgFitness advertising photography by Robert Houser in the San Francisco Bay Area I love the light on this series of images shot for Title Nine on location in Emeryville, California in the parking lot of a CrossFit gym. Perfect existing light? Yes, if you count driving my huge silver Sprinter van into just the right spot. It's always nice when you can drive your giant soft reflector right where you want it. #vanlight https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/83/pf-media/083-Houser_201026_4177.jpgFitness advertising photography by Robert Houser in the San Francisco Bay Area I love the light on this series of images shot for Title Nine on location in Emeryville, California in the parking lot of a CrossFit gym.

She was a heptathlete and her main sport is javelin. Javelins, however, are not an easy prop to find. Not surprisingly, no one wants to rent or lend you a six foot spear. A discus, on the other hand, can be ordered through the mail. 70-200 lens shot wide open at f2.8 at 110mm. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/85/pf-media/085-Houser_210319_1769.jpgWater photograhy and portraiture captured by San Francisco based editorial, advertising, healthcare, annual report and fitness photographer Robert Houser.One of my first underwater images shot with an Outex housing. Before buying a fancy housing for my Canon r5II, I used what is basically a silicone sock that you slide over any camera body. It has a glass front that spins onto your lens, and a glass ring so you can see the viewfinder, a surprisingly useful and inexpensive option. That is, so long as you don't need to adjust your settings - doing that can be a pain. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/86/pf-media/086-Houser_210628_1522.jpgUnderwater running for physical therapy recovering from bilateral hip replacements.Not a model, but a 50 year old pharma CEO who was recovering from hip surgery using her pool for exercise. I went with the intention of shooting the rehab, but instead shot this. Won a few awards with this image in 2021. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/87/pf-media/087-Houser_211011_1207.jpgFitness Dream: The water in this pool was a bit murky and we had strung up a 20'x20' white silk across the surface of the pool. I wanted to make an image of that terrifying moment when you feel yourself waking from a nightmare, but you cannot move or get yourself fully awake. Trapped. I backed up in the water just outside the silk, so that the afternoon sun backlit some of the particles in the water. This filled the foreground with wonderful circles of bubbling dust. 20mm lens at f5.6 at 1/400th of a second. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/88/pf-media/088-Houser_220408_4235.jpgEmergency phoneParty Line. I loved that sign in this 1960s built chemical plant. Maybe you need to have been around in the 80s, when people actually called 800 number 'party lines' on Saturday evenings, in order to get it. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/89/pf-media/089-Houser_220510_2551-RT-PORT.jpgIndustrial Photography by Corporate and Advertising photographer Robert HouserOn location in Mexico with young engineers that will be running this plant someday. It was inspiring to see the men and women of the youngest generation at the plant, working together in the same position with equal respect for each other. Shot with a favorite lens: 50mm f1.2 at f2 at 1/800th at ISO 100. The falloff of the 1.2 version of this lens makes the extra $1500 so worth it. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/90/pf-media/090-Houser_20220728_4928.jpgMediterranean Sea.The Aegean Sea photographed from a boat with my iPhone. This image reminds me of the line, 'Blue is the color of There as seen from Here.' I have a series of these images printed quite large in my home. Yes, iPhone. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/91/pf-media/091-Houser_221111_2813.jpgOpen Water swimming POVOpen water swimming is mostly a lot of staring into dark, often cold water. But, with each breath, your eyes focus on falling drops of water framed under your out-stretched arm. A brief peak at the surface. Almost always the same. And, yet always different. That's what I set out to capture, and boy was it a challenge. I tried swimming under someone else with my camera, but that didn't work at all, and it was quite awkward. It had to be a self portrait but it took 8 more attempts to get it right â holding the camera upside down in my left hand while swimming an odd loping gate with my right. I love the series that began in the warm waters of September but wasn't technically successful until the cold waters of November. 16mm at f5.6 at 1/8000th of a second. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/92/pf-media/092-Houser_221128_4522-RT.jpgMerry KISS-masMerry KISS-mas.

I wore the wig again the following Halloween, dressed as Slash. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/93/pf-media/093-Houser_MtTam_16bit_ProPhoto.jpgMt Tamalpais Sunset - Marin County CaliforniaThis image is more of a memory for me. Throughout the 90s I would bike from San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge and up Mt. Tam to this area on the Bolinas Ridge Road. So many of my early bicyling portfolio images were shot up here on this stretch of road. So, when my old assistant from the mid 90s, who now runs an online art platform, asked if I had an image of the hills in Marin County that they could print for a client 9 feet wide, I jumped at the chance to head up there. On a beautiful clear summer evening, I shot a series of vertical images with a 50mm lens in order to stitch them together to create a huge, detailed file for the massive 9 foot print. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/94/pf-media/094-Houser_240812_8866.rh2.jpgUnderwater danceNot a model, a 50 year old writer with whom I have collaborated for test images for 20 years. The fabric is a simple curtain valence wrapped around her. 'Float to the surface and splash your hands down hard to make as many bubbles as you can.' Shooting and water: double happy place. 22mm f4 at 1/320th of a second. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/95/pf-media/095-Houser_1994_ThomasKeller-002-Edit.jpgThomas Keller - The French Laundry 1994One of Thomas Keller's first PR images, (and one of my early jobs) shot at the newly opened French Laundry in 1994. This image appeared recently in the documentary about Keller, A Chef's Table. I went on to photograph Thomas a number of times, but this first one is cool because neither of us knew what the French Laundry would become. https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/96/pf-media/096-Houser_241130_2317-horiz.jpgRobert Houser as ScroogeWhen Sherrie and I agreed to try to do Scrooge, I had no idea how she was going to make me look old, well That Old. Spread the skin apart, smear it with sticky stuff, blow it dry and then let go â instant wrinkles. The eybrows and chops were glued on and then 'painted' with eyeliner and mascara. For the snow we did something different this time, using dried instant potatoes, available at any supermarket. Which begs the question, who cooks with dried instant potatoes these days? https://roberthouser.com/*-FAVORITES-*/97/pf-media/097-Houser_241130_2317.jpgRobert Houser as ScroogeScrooge. The hat is from the Frosty year, and the jacket is my father's overcoat, bought in 1968. My sister and I both wore it throughout our high school years, and I still wear it whenever it's cold. Same location as the image of the boxer!
