ROBB LONG

 
Robb is a big man, standing 6 feet 5 inches garnering him the nickname “Big Robb”. He’s American born, grew up in Richmond, VA, schooled in Savannah, GA. Robb earned himself a BFA in Photography from The Savannah College of Art & Design.
Robb worked for newspapers, magazines and the Associated Press (AP) as a photojournalist, before his transformation to commercial photography in 2003. He now splits his time between Minneapolis, MN & Sioux Falls, SD with his wife Misten, Son Seanix, twin daughters Leighton/Flynn, a one-eyed wiener dog named Matey and a Corgi/Cattle dog named Ruby, both of which were rescued.
Robb specializes in lifestyle photography, agricultural photography, corporate and industrial photography. He understands the importance of delivering a strong and consistent brand image, whether his role is photographer, or director. Robb collaborates with his clients to craft a creative vision for every shoot. With a clear concept in place, he then sets the artistry in motion.
Robb works with a top-notch production team, overseeing every aspect of the shoot. He is comfortable giving the talent direction and then letting the scene unfold organically. “Image follows image. Stories unfold. Photographs tell a brand’s story.” Robb’s work has earned him many national and international photographic awards, including one of Lurzers Archive 200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide 2018/19 and 2020/21.

When it comes to capturing the lifestyle of agriculture — the joy of a great harvest, the grit of the everyday “grunt” work, and the stress relief that technological advancements bring — Robb Long is one of the best. Raven Industries greatly appreciates Robb’s attention to detail in capturing our marketing images, which are used in various presentations, campaigns and promotions. We look forward to working with Robb — continuing to tell the farmers’ stories and helping them feed the world. “ - Kylie Kiesner, Marketing Manager, Raven

 “Working with Robb was so easy and the quality of work delivered exceeded our expectations. Not only is he a talented photographer and videographer, but he is educated in the agriculture industry and was easily able to guide the team on location to ensure authenticity of the images captured. There was consistent and clear communication throughout the entire project, which allowed our on-location shoots to run smoothly and consistently on schedule. I would highly recommend Robb for any photography and video, specifically if you are looking to set your brand apart from the competition.” - Julie Christianson, Marketing Manager, Valley Plains Equipment

 “I had the pleasure of working with Robb shooting farm operations in Montana. Our planes from different states landed in Montana at the same time. It only took me the distance from baggage claim to getting our rental to know that I liked him. He’s a just a fun guy to be around. Professional but relaxed and confident.  He’s talented enough to be a total diva if he wanted, but he’s the exact opposite. He’s very down to Earth. So much so that he was rolling around in the Earth 10 minutes into our first shooting location. I like a guy who’s not afraid to get dirty to get a good shot. And he was everywhere, I didn’t have to direct him, you give him a camera and he’s like a Husky dog seeing snow for the first time. It’s fun to watch and be a part of. This industry has plenty of jaded cynical people, Robb balanced that scale with childlike energy for his craft. And that always results in great product. When I did have some direction, he was super collaborative, which made the whole shoot that much more fun. We had a client with us the whole time and Robb entertained the two of us with stories from past shoots and life experiences. I felt like we were all friends at the end of those three days. When it came time to deliver, he provided web-based selection process that was fast and easy to use. The shots were gorgeous, the whole team was thrilled. I can’t wait to work with the guy again. I highly recommend him. “ - Eric Tatham, Associate Creative Director, OBP

 “Robb is a true professional and has an aesthetic sense you can trust. We weren’t able to be on-site due to the pandemic. He understood our shot list and vision and came back with a fantastic set of images for our client. 11/10 would recommend! “ - Cheers, Naomi Long 

I've worked with photographers all across the globe, and Robb is by far one of the best photographers out there. His eye for getting the perfect shot is so impressive, and we've always been overwhelmed with the work he's delivered. Not only are his photography skills top-notch, but he's also just a really great guy to work with. Robb is easy-going, accommodating, and knows his stuff. I wholeheartedly recommend this guy! “ - Sarah Bieber, Head of Creative Services, Farmers Business Network
