Robert Sturman

A dedicated yoga practitioner and photographer, Robert Sturman has increasingly focused on capturing the timeless grace and embodied mindfulness of asana in his work. His portraits, whether set in the lively streets of Manhattan, the expansive beaches and canyons of Malibu, the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, the bustling streets of Cuba, the timeless elegance of Walden’s New England or the bleakness of Marin County’s San Quentin Prison remind us that there is beauty everywhere. In Sturman’s own words, “I often think of Rumi’s words ‘I can’t stop pointing to the beauty.’ That feels right to me.”

Sturman’s honors include Official Artist of the 47th Annual Grammy Awards, 2010 FIFA World Cup Artist Representing America, and Official Artist 2008 United States Olympics. In 2012 and 2013, Sturman was the subject of two separate New York Times articles celebrating his photographs of yoga from around the world.

A native Southern Californian, Robert Sturman lives, yogas and photographs in Santa Monica.  Connect with Robert on his website, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
