I’m Robert Hester, a photographer, photojournalist, videographer, creative artist, blogger, and founder of Robert Hester Entertainment. I am originally from Braddock, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh. I am a contributing photographer and writer for Pittverse Magazine, a quarterly publication that is 100% written and photographed by Pittsburgh area adults on the autism spectrum. At the age of 2, I was first diagnosed with autism. And my God-given talents as a photographer has been a way to positively express my autism diagnosis.

 

I officially got my start in photography in 2001 at a Computing Workshop at the world-renowned Carnegie-Mellon University. The experience at the Computing Workshop led me to take a non-college-credit course on digital photography at CCAC Boyce Campus in Monroeville, PA in the Winter of 2002. I also took a college credit course on photojournalism, which was basic photography, at CCAC Boyce in the Winter of 2003. I also had the opportunity to teach a digital photography course to some students of the Computing Workshop at CMU that summer. Since then I have been taking pictures of just about anything you can think of; from landscapes to people from all walks of life, as well as the city skylines of Downtown Pittsburgh, Miami Beach, Florida; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Cancun, Mexico.
