Currently, he is engaged in a variety of photography projects. As an undergrad in painting, he studied with first-generation abstract expressionist Robert Richenburg and hyper-realist painter Janet Fish and then in Graduate School for Art History with famed critic E.C.

Fly to the Sky. Boy Holding Big Bird in the Bronx
By Robert Funk
Located in Miami, FL
The big bird is a painting. I painted it. It's oil on canvas. I mounted it on plywood and silhouetted it with a jigsaw. I took the silhouetted bird with me on the subway. We each had our own seat on the trip from Brooklyn to the Bronx
The station has changed. In a Google stock image photo, you can see the geniuses have destroyed the beautiful character of the station. The early 20th-century signage and lighting fixtures have been changed by soulless and cheap-looking replacements.

1950s Girly Pin-Up Hangs out on Miami Beach in the 1970s
By Robert Funk
Located in Miami, FL
Besides being a pioneering staged photograph, the composition is unique as well. A five-inch cutout appears to be monumental. The subject fills the pictorial space from the bottom to the top. It dominates the vast beachscape and dwarfs the life-size figures to the lower right. By photographing a reproduction of a person on paper, Funk pushes the boundaries of portraiture in 1977. Robert Funk is a pioneer of Staged Photography. The work is signed, numbered 3/15, dated, and titled lr. printed later, unframed, Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper

Business Man Rises Above the Manhattan Skyline - Staged Photography
By Robert Funk
Located in Miami, FL
A two-inch plastic toy figure of a suited man is placed on top of an extended firetruck ladder. The toy truck and man are placed on the roof of a Brooklyn Heights building and positioned directly in front of the lower Manhattan skyline. At the time, it was the very center of of world commerce. The two-inch toy man raises above the tallest and most important buildings , including the recently finished World Trade Center Twin Towers. Clearly, this man is above it all and this photo is more than child's play.
The work is signed, numbered 2/15, dated and titled lr. printed later, unframed, Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper

Lion Male in Majestic Mauve
By Robert Funk
Located in Miami, FL
Well-muscled male cat with full mane. He's King of the Jungle even if he's in stone and against a pink background.
The contrast of gritty the stone texture against the smooth flat sky is unexpected and somehow makes the image special.
