About the photographer

Picture
​Bob Eckert specializes in on-location, journalistic photography. He's been widely published both in the U.S. and abroad. Working with people is his forte although his portfolio ranges from man-altered landscapes in the New Topographics tradition to industrial plants, the lowrider culture, matachines dancers and roadside crosses (descansos), religion, agriculture, street photography and much more.

Eckert lives in Northern New Mexico and when he isn't working on a new photo project or book, or shooting for a client, he is the arts editor for a weekly newspaper (Rio Grande SUN)  during which time he’s earned numerous awards from the New Mexico Press Association. For the 2019 competition, Eckert was awarded a first place in the photo stories category for his photo essay titled "Behind the Scenes at the Circus." He also earned a second place award in the same category.

Eckert’s compositional style ranges from direct, such as a closeup of a helmeted welder surrounded by toxic fumes, to more complex images containing several subtle subtexts not unlike, as one reviewer noted, “a visual chautauqua,” the telling of a multi-faceted story in a single image. These complex images prompt viewers to ask questions as opposed to providing answers, which in Eckert’s opinion, is often a stronger, more engaging approach.
