Robert Jones

Robert Jones is an award-winning photojournalist, and author—with Hitchcock scholar Dan Auiler and fellow photographer Aimee Sinclair—of the bestselling pictorial volume, "Hitchcock's California: Vista Visions From the Camera Eye," about which acclaimed film critic Leonard Maltin wrote, "This is truly a coffee-table book that invites you to pick it up, place it on your lap, and take in the pictures one by one. An amusing essay by Bruce Dern and a moving afterword by [Dorothy Herrmann] the daughter of Bernard Herrmann are icing on the cake."

Adds noted movie blogger John Greco: "Jones explained how what he 'set out to achieve was the most beautifully produced book on Alfred Hitchcock ever created, a book in which the photography rises to the level of the artistry in his movies.'

"I think you will agree he achieved it."

Jones and Auiler previously teamed up for the 2012 Amazon #1 Bestseller "Looking Down: Photographs From the Sidewalks of Hyde Park, Boston," a fascinating study of the everyday ephemera that makes up the footpaths of a great American City.

For his debut volume, "Garish: Roadside Color Polaroids" (#1 in all its Amazon categories, also from 2012), Jones turned to his Polaroid Colorpack III to capture a colorful journey into the Heartlands and Badlands of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. "Garish" is not only a bold and visually riveting photographic essay, but it's also a first-rate work in every way, drawing on Jones's experience working in the media world since 1988.

Robert Jones began his career working for Time-Life in color correction in the late 1980s, tweaking photos and layout so the color was "just so." He later worked as a photojournalist, copy editor, and photo editor for Army publications from the 1990s through mid-2000s. In the latter part of the decade, he was signed on as entertainment editor at The New Individualist, where he also wrote numerous articles on music, movies, books, and popular culture.

His work has been widely published by many imprints including Black & White Magazine, Entrepreneur, Lose Blätter (Germany), the New York Post, Spirit (Canada), Newsday, Top Producer, the Trenton Times, and the Oxford University Press.

In 2009, Jones began working exclusively on photography books, inspired by his mentor, the late New York photographer Mark Feldstein, whose volumes "Unseen New York" and "Sightings" redefined urban photography within a personal and private framework.

He is presently collaborating on numerous volumes of photography with a number of noted U.S. and internationally-based photographers.
