For many an artist, creativity is in the genes. Photographer Robert Downs is a compelling example of just that.

His creativity springs from both sides of the parental well. Downs' mother was a graphic artist and father a photojournalist for more than forty years with the Atlanta Journal and Constitution which is where they met. "I used to beg my father to take me to work with him on the weekends," Robert remembers. "My job would be to carry all the staff photographer's cameras to the football field and pick up film at half-time. I got to use a camera as a reward and dump my film in with the rest of the guys. Whether it was or cruel joke or just fate, my shots started showing up in the paper. I was 13 when I scored the front page of the sports section. It was then I knew that I wanted to be a photographer." Over the past 17 years, Robert Downs has sustained that dream making a living combining art and commerce with clients ranging from the Los Angeles Times and Sony Pictures to Kaman Music, SKB, Audix Microphones, and Dean Guitars. His work has been featured extensively on covers and editorial spreads for for Drum! and DRUMMER magazines, plus a host of the world's top drum companies such as Pearl, Gretsch, Tama, Bosphorus and Zildjian. He's also photographed some of the top musicians and bands on the charts including Incubus, Stone Temple Pilots, Deftones, Public Enemy, Slipknot, MUSE, The Cult, and many more.

Healing from life-saving surgery… but that’s not the issue.

As many of you know, I was hospitalized last month and had life-saving surgery. I hadn’t planned on asking for help. I had enough in the bank to carry me until December, when I’ll be fully recovered… UNTIL.

This week, my business was hit with an unexpected chargeback that drained my accounts without warning. It came completely out of left field, and now I’m struggling to cover rent and bills.
I HATE asking for your support again. I had this handled, right up until the universe decided otherwise.

If you’re able to help, even a little, it would mean the world. And if you can’t, a share helps just as much. ❤️
Thank you all for the love and support through this crazy year.

After emergency surgery in September, I spent over 20 days in the hospital, and I’m now cancer-free and forty pounds lighter! I hadn’t planned to ask for help,

HEY EVERYONE.

AS INFO… I am currently recovering from what was life saving surgery followed by 20+ days in hospital.

Don’t want to get into the details (that’s for when we can sit down for a b**r), but I did get the news today that cancer has been ruled out and I have a much clearer path for my recovery.

I am taking all of OCTOBER OFF to recover, planning to start booking jobs (as O2 levels begin to return and heart rate begins to drop) with a full recovery expected by December.

I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all my friends in this space, musicians and great people who just took a second to think about me. I am hear to tell you without a doubt you helped save my life TWICE.

THANK YOU

Hope to see you all soon.

LOVE,
+r

*I plan to be the ONLY living person at the Halloween Party.

Hahahahaahaaa.
