  Robert Rollins, United States

Contortionist Sadie Orozco from the Mongolian Contortion Center located in San Francisco, California, USA. The Mongolian cultural heritage of nomadic Mongolians is the art of contortion to display the beauty of the human body.

I have been a photographer for over 30 years. I began way back in the old film day's shooting 4x5 sheet film and various photographic disciplines, weddings, architecture, landscapes, wildlife and fashion. I now only shoot digital. My photographic philosophy is to avoid grasping onto a fixed or particular photographic technique,style or photographic discipline.In my experience, developing a wide variety of photographic disciplines helps to assist a photographer in cross merging photographic techniques i.e. weddings and fashion, landscapes and wildlife and even landscapes and fashion.
