Rob Woodcox is a fine art photographer and film director currently living between Mexico and the US. As he creates each artwork, Rob strives to capture fragments of a vivid life sewn by the threads of reality, memory and dream.  Each concept is a declaration of his experience and seeks to tell a meaningful story to each individual that views it.

Rob's passion for photography has developed into a dedication to advocacy; he has produced projects raising consciousness and conversation around the US foster system and adoption, queer identity, body neutrality, racial equality and environmental justice.  Having been adopted as a child and interacting often with the foster care system, Rob creates from a unique perspective, finding hope in human connection and the will to overcome negative constructs within our complex societies. 

In 2013 Rob went through his own "coming out" experience, a societal passage only necessary from the lack of education and acceptance within the greater population. Though a challenging and demanding experience, Rob used this energy to pursue his photographic goals full time and began touring the world teaching workshops and creating sponsored content. Rob has taught thousands of students in 6 continents, 15 countries and over 35 cities worldwide. He has been featured in various major publications, exhibitions and has produced commercial work for clients like Apple, Universal Pictures and Capitol Records. In 2020 Rob released his first photographic art book “Bodies Of Light”.

In 2021 Rob took on his first directorial film role in “We Are Molecular” in partnership with Dr Barbara Sturm and the Royal Ballet in London. He continued his film debut directing his first music video “Spiral” alongside Ry X in 2022. Rob’s first short film “Honey To The Moon” debuted in Summer of 2023, screening at the Oscar qualifying Provincetown International Film Festival, Selfridges Cinema in London, Cine Tonala in Mexico City, and the Pride festival in Minneapolis all in the first week. His next film is in pre-production and will combine his love of dance with documentary to highlight indigenous front-line communities implementing solutions to climate change. Rob continues to embark upon new personal and client creative endeavors in both photographic and film direction.

Rob is available internationally for select projects and campaign productions and sells prints of his work in the shop. To inquire about his production team or to contact Rob about a project, seminar or featuring his work, please use the contact form.
