ROBERT MANN
Robert Mann was born in Clintonville, Wisconsin in 1960. He attended the Ohio State University School of Music and in 1980 received his B.A. in music theory and performance from Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California. He later also attended the Los Angeles City College with studies in astronomy, photography, and 20th century composition. In 1990 he studied platinum printing at the Maine Photographic Workshops and in 1992 he attended the pigment printing workshop at the Fine Print Studios of the Düsseldorf Museum. During the 1980's he was involved with many experimental music and performance art projects incorporating visual installations with electronic and prepared instruments. These projects led to his involvement with the Art Club in Los Angeles which was a vehicle for the advancement of creative projects in the Los Angeles area. Concurrently Robert was also chief photographer for Exposure Magazine in Los Angeles. Discovering that he had a strong talent in photographic printing, he started a business to support his artistic endeavors. He soon became one of the most sought after photographic specialists printing the work of Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Mary Ellen Mark, and Sheila Metzner among many others. In 1989, with an international reputation in photography and photographic printing, Robert moved to Paris, where he now resides. He currently uses pinhole cameras exclusively to achieve his ethereal images and continues to print privately for a select group of photographers while producing his own works for gallery and museum exhibitions.
