Robert O. Aakerman

My name is Robert O. Aakerman and I'm an amateur photographer. The idea with many of my nature projects is to find the main expression of the species, rather than to depict the scene in a realistic way. To find the individual image that can stand as the single beacon for the whole idea.

I also have abstract projects and working with exploring texture and macro.

I don't do a lot of portrait or flash photography, but working as Webmaster for Profoto has put me more in contact with that world and maybe some day...

Been doing photography since age 10 and actually started with 6x6 black and white. Since then a lot of cameras has come and gone.

I now own a Pentax K-3 and is a bit amazed that Pentax does not market it better. Image quality is as good as Canon 1DX and the equivalent Nikon but only for a fraction of the price.

Of course if you HAVE to go full frame...by all means, do. Personally I'd rather invest my money in a midsize, rekindling my love for 6x6.
