Rob Van Petten had every intention of becoming a famous rock guitar player. Somewhere along the way he began taking pictures of rock bands and got more work shooting pictures than playing his guitar. Now Rob shoots fashionable pictures for advertising and editorials. At 12 he borrowed his father’s Nikon and never gave it back. He is convinced that the power of photographs is a force to implement global cultural tolerance.
