Lüp - About

Hello, I’m Robin

Before we tell the Story of Ü…

A Little About Me

I started shooting at 10 years old on a Pentax MX SLR with a 52mm prime and a 55-230mm zoom. I loved that manual camera! I used it throughout high school shooting sporting events and assignments for the school newspaper.I now shoot with Sony cameras and a quiver of unbeatable lenses. With these tools I have captured the best images of my career, shooting weddings, filmed independent movie trailers, fundraising pitches, short films, proof-of-concept commercials, and a 19 episode web series.

Projects

The latest project I directed and DP’d (Director of Photography) is a short film/pilot, titled “H.O.E.s - The Bulge”, which has garnered over 10 festival wins for Best Short, Best Pilot, Best Score, and two Best Director awards.

Robin and his team produced the best wedding video I have ever seen, and was fortunate enough to have it be mine. Thank you Lüp!

Wedding Video

We hired Robin to shoot an episode of our web series. We ended up hiring him full time. He directed several episodes, and DP’d over half of our 19 episode series called Glasscock Park.
