Robert (Bob) Horowitz, is a Massachusetts-based fine art landscape photographer whose work uses the visual language of photographs to explore everyday places and objects in an ever-changing landscape altered by human change.

Born in Connecticut, Bob discovered photography in grade school, learning to develop film and make contact prints. His interest deepened after a European summer in 1970 and a photography class at the Paier School of Art. At Kenyon College he continued an independent study in photography and was introduced to and moved by the renderings of everyday lives and ordinary things by poet, writer, and pediatrician, William Carlos Williams.   

After earning his M.D. in New York and completing a family medicine residency in Virginia, Bob served the Navajo Nation Health Foundation in Arizona and later the U.S. Public Health Service in New Mexico. Throughout the 1980s, he worked with Pueblo communities while immersing himself in Santa Fe’s vibrant photographic community, using medium—and large-format photography making silver gelatin and platinum/palladium prints.

Relocating to Amherst, Massachusetts in 1989, he turned to color film before transitioning to digital photography in 2009.

His photographs are included in the Western Americana Collection at Princeton University and private collections across the U.S., including New York, Santa Fe, Tucson, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, and the Photographer’s Formulary in Condon, MT.
