About Robert Bolla

Robert Bolla I am a mentor taught/self taught photographer with an interest in photography for over 50 years. During summers, while in undergraduate school, a professional landscape photographer and a professional studio/wedding photographer mentored me in basic photographic and in developing techniques including process and wet plate. While in graduate school, I used photomicrography of chromosomes to describe cell division during reproduction and development and electron microscopy combined with biochemistry and molecular biology to answer questions of the development of parasites during the host-parasite interaction. During my academic career I continued to use these techniques along with photo-image analysis to further my work. My interests in landscape and nature photography continued during my academic years as I traveled nationally and internationally. I have traveled to develop expertise in photojournalism focusing on the faces and places to gain an understanding the engagement of people in their culture. I have an exhibition of photographic work “Evolution” in the Hauser Gallery at Bradley University and have exhibited in multimedia juried gallery exhibitions at the Courtroom Gallery, Manchester Arts “Nature As You See It” and “Inside Outside”, Art St. Louis “Maturity and the Muse”, “Personal Spaces”, and “Art St. Louis XXXII”, Webster Arts “Small Works I”, III, and IV, “Opus”, the Soulard Art Gallery “Distortions”, “Serendipity”, “Masquerade”, “Winter Solstice,”Abstractions “, and “Fins, Fur and Feathers” and in the monthly juried exhibits 33January, 33Feburary, 33March, 33April (MySLArt.org) in the Old Orchard Gallery. I will have a solo exhibit “Fur, Feathers, and Flowers” in the Renaissance St. Louis Lambert Airport Hotel Gallery, June 2017 and an exhibit representing Art St. Louis in Des Peres Hospital St. Louis. I have sold my work at Manchester Arts ArtsFest. I am a member of the Saint Louis Camera Club and have taken workshop from Bryan Peterson on creativity in photography. I served on the Board of Directors of Manchester Arts from 2013-2016 working on the visual arts committee involved in selecting, hanging and jurying gallery exhibits and I chaired the development committee. My main interests are nature and landscape photography and photojournalism. My photographic goal is to present the viewer with an image that peaks the imagination and lets the viewer develop their own story about the photograph; I try to find humor in my wildlife photography. While most of my work is done in camera, I use digital manipulation images mirroring those taken with vintage films, and those taken or developed with wet plate, Daguerreotype, calotype, cyanotype and lith techniques. I received a B.A. in biology from SUNY, Buffalo and an MS and Ph.D. in zoology, genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology of parasites from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. This was followed by an academic career with positions at Notre Dame University and the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology, University of Missouri St. Louis, St. Louis University, Youngstown State University, Bradley University, Washington University Medical School Dept. of Immunology and Microbiology, St. Louis University School of Medicine and the Missouri Botanical Garden. I held administrative positions at Youngstown State and Bradley University and through a fellowship from the Japan Society for the Advancement of Science lived and did research in Japan. My teaching and research was in biochemistry and molecular biology and I have published widely on mechanisms of the host-parasite interaction.
