Bob Perkoski’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

For over 20 years, I have been entrenched in the visual elements of the Rust Belt, documenting everyday life in and around Cleveland through both my personal and professional work. My photo-journalistic style has covered the growth of the city over the past decade and more, especially during its recent comeback. Telling a story with my images and capturing the essence of any event or performance as well as anticipating key moments to capture are my forte. View my work at https://www.perkoski.co…
