Week 43 - Robert

What is your name?
Robert Catto.

What sort of photography do you do?
I’m a freelance photographer specialising in performing arts and live events.  I used to be a lighting designer for theatre, dance, opera etc - so I fell into photography from there, after trying to build a portfolio of my own work for myself.

How long have you been shooting?
At all?  Since about 1989 when my dad gave me his old Canon FT-b and a bag of prime lenses to take to university, which I gradually upgraded to a T-90 that came travelling with me in 1996.  Professionally, full time since 2002.

What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
I’m pretty in love with my Fuji X-Pro 1 kit (18/35/60mm lenses included) - it brings back some of the simplicity of that first camera I got handed down to me.

Where can we find you? Twitter account/s, blogs, galleries, any and all web presence that you feel comfortable sharing.

(That’s probably more than enough!)

Where do you live and work? You can be as specific as providing your lat-long coordinates, or as vague as "planet earth".
I’m a Toronto born, Canadian / New Zealand citizen, living in Sydney Australia.

Is there a Twitter account you would really like to see take over @WeRPhotography for a week?
Perhaps @laroquephoto, my Kage Collective friend Patrick in Montreal?
