Spokane Event Photographers

I am an artist with a passion for photography. The passion isn't so much for the technicalities of photography itself, but for the moment that is captured in powerful ways that elicit in the viewer a gamut of emotions, inspirations, memories, and motivation to act. Photography is an art form and an outlet for my expression. I am a motivated hand's-on self-learner and most of my training has come through experience, collaboration with others, and online tutorials and video classes.

Robert Poe worked as a newspaper photographer for several years after graduating university, covering everything from PTA and city government meetings to high school sports to presidential campaign events. He worked for a number of years as a technology journalist in Tokyo and Hong Kong, which offered him the opportunity to travel and take pictures throughout Asia. He is now living and working as a full-time photographer in the Inland Northwest, focusing on event and portrait photography. He has photographed numerous recent events at the Panhandle Autism Society and the Innovation Collective, both in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, including appearances by candidates of the most recent elections. And as a sort of public service, he has taken and made publicly available hundreds of photos of classic cars in various cruises and shows.
