Robert Skip Sandberg
Raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Skip Sandberg settled in Mill Valley in 1977. After a career in banking, in 2002 he began working exclusively on fine art photography and exhibiting throughout Marin. His photography has been featured at the Mill Valley Community Center, the College of Marin, and the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival.
In 2008, the Marin County Fair awarded Sandberg "Marin Photographer of the Year".
Sandberg's work is traditional black and white landscape photography, using a medium format camera, Ilford film, and a tripod. Although most photographers no longer work in the darkroom, Skip still prints silver gelatin photos in his darkroom studio, as he has done for for 25 years. Like many photographers, Sandberg also merges the film and digital worlds. In addition to wet darkroom printing, Skip scans medium format film negatives (five times larger than 35mm) to create large digital images for printing, or to create digital negatives for darkroom contact printing.
Sandberg is also involved in the Marin arts community as a member of the Marin Arts Council, the Marin Photography Club, and he served as past Chair of the Mill Valley Art Commission.
