Robert Farber is a contemporary American photographer best known for his iconic images of nude women. “One day I was walking on Miami Beach and saw a very large woman wearing the tiniest string bikini I had ever seen, sitting on the beach, knitting. I thought to myself, ‘I wish I had a camera.’ I suddenly saw photography as a way to capture a moment for storytelling,” he has explained. Born on February 29, 1944 in Newark, NJ, he took an interest in art from a young age but went on to study business and marketing in college. In 1970, Farber moved to New York and began taking photographs in a style which had the soft-focused look of a painting. These works gained the attention of advertising agencies and the artist began working on campaigns for Cotton Incorporated. His sensual photographs of the 1970s led to him being hired by both Playboy and Penthouse. Farber has gone on to publish several successful photobooks, including Natural Beauty (2001) and American Mood (2004). He currently lives and works in New York, NY. Today, the artist’s photographs are held in the collections of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City and the International Center of Photography in New York.
