After majoring in both journalism and art, Seale began his photography career the way many young photographers do: working as a newspaper staff photographer. He eventually landed at the Sporting News, where he spent nearly 11 years shooting Super Bowls and World Series games as well as cover portraits for the popular magazine.
His love of portrait work led him to a Houston-based freelance career specializing in shooting people for magazines, prestigious design firms, corporations, and advertising agencies.
Seale is known for his lighting skills and his unique ability to coax a variety of creative concepts from a single location in a very limited timeframe. He’s equally adept photographing celebrity athletes, busy CEO’s, and normal folks in any environment with any level of production necessary to tell their story.
As a sought after speaker in the photographic industry, Seale has taught lighting technique and portraiture at a variety of photography workshops in the US and Canada.
He has won awards from The National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, was a finalist for Life Magazine’s Eissie Award (Sports-1998), and was featured in the Best of ASMP (2008).
His editorial credits include Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine, Men’s Health, SLAM, Businessweek, Barron’s, The New York Times Magazine, and over 200 covers of The Sporting News.
As an annual report and advertising photographer, Robert has worked on projects for ExxonMobil, Tellabs, Schlumberger, Marathon, Reebok, and Under Armour.
