ROB RETTING
To say that Rob Retting is a versatile photographer is an understatement. You may catch him in the Lake Tahoe region shooting, luxury real estate, special events, sports, publicity, commercial advertising, or media assignments. At the age of ten, the self-taught Retting became enamored with photography, focusing on people and still life. Growing up in New York City, he developed a knack for urban-style photography. As fate would have it, in the 1980s Rob visited Lake Tahoe. He fell in love with the region and decided to make the area his new home. Rob’s current project, “The Art of Boats – Tahoe Woodies” is a captivating collection of Tahoe’s classic wooden boats from a design perspective.
