Bob Webb has been a photographer for over 25 years. A 1976 graduate of Penn State University with a BS in Administration, Bob returned to his home area and is a life-long resident. For 23 years he owned and operated the Snap Shop, a one-hour photo business in Bedford, PA. In 2004 he sold the retail business and is now devoted exclusively to portrait photography. His range of photographic services includes senior portraits, family portraits, weddings and sports as well as other activities, aerial photography and special events. Bob has twice won the Blair County Art Show in the photography division, the Bedford County Art Show in photography and placed in the Westmoreland County Art Show under photography. He has been an invited participant in the Southern Alleghenies Triennial Invitational.

Bob has studied under Peter Ralston through the Island Photographic Workshop; Jeff Nixon, who served as a darkroom assistant to Ansle Adams, and noted black and white photographer, John Sexton. Webb himself has served as past instructor for the Southern Alleghenies Photographic Workshop and currently teaches photo/camera workshops as requested.

While Webb’s primary emphasis is Portraiture, he has also recently had his writing and photography published in Westsylvania magazine and Fly, Rod and Reel magazine. He was a finalist in the Western Pennsylvania Golden Quill Award in 2005 for an article and photography about local bronze artist Wayne Hyde.

Bob enjoys supplementing his photographic interests with other artistic mediums and because of that interest has opened the Main Street Gallery in Bedford, which showcases the work of area artists. He continues to expand his personal creative side as an art student at the Foundry Art Studio in Everett, PA and serves on the Board of Directors for the Bedford County Arts Council.
