The Road Less Traveled: A Path to Artistic Expression

Rob Woodcox's path to photography wasn't conventional. Raised in the Midwest United States, he embarked on a creative journey from a young age, navigating the intersection of art, nature, and personal expression. We trace his early journey into photography to learn his influences included surrealist painters including Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Picasso, and Leonora Carrington. Surrealist photographers like Annie Leibovitz, Tim Walker, Eugenio Recuenco, and Gregory Crewdson helped inspire Rob to create his own worlds.
