Robert Vizzini

Vizzini was born in Brooklyn, New York and continues to live and work in New York City. Being mostly self-taught Vizzini has been photographing seriously since 1991. A workshop with Michael Kenna in 1997 solidified his passion for low-light shooting. Known for his “spare and elegant eye” Robert’s work has been featured in many of the major art photography publications including, American PHOTO, Aperture, Blind Spot, DoubleTake, Black & White Magazine, Harper's, Lenswork, Photography Monthly, and Photo Review. In 2010 Vizzini was one of two official photographers for the 911 Tribute in Light Project of the Municipal Arts Society of New York and in 2003 was the first recipient of the New Discovery Award, of the International Photography Awards. His work is represented in many public collections including, Bibliotèque nationale de France, Paris, France; Southeast Museum of Photography, Daytona Beach, FL; AXA Financial, New York, NY; Goldman Sachs & Co.
