INTRODUCING SABO PHOTOGRAPHY

Robert Sabo is a freelance photojournalist working in New York. Recently, he was named New York Sports Photographer of the Year for 2022 and again in 2023. He has won multiple first places in the International Pictures of the Year (iPOY) competition and named a Pulitzer finalist in 2010 as part of the NY Daily News photography team for its compelling and remarkably photo coverage of the miraculous landing of a US Airways jetliner in the Hudson River. Before embarking on his latest adventure, he spent a decade as a staff photographer with THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS. Prior to his work at THE DAILY NEWS, he worked as a senior picture editor with Getty Images. Before that he was a staff photographer at THE JOURNAL NEWS. He learned photography in the U.S. Navy where he graduated from NAVAL SCHOOL OF PHOTOGRAPHY and DINFOS School of Photojournalism and spent nine years active duty. He worked for various base newspapers before being selected to attend Syracuse University's Newhouse School of  Mass Communication's military photojournalism program. After graduation from Syracuse, Robert joined the Battleship IOWA as one of only four Navy Photojournalists documenting life in the U.S. Navy including the photos of the explosion onboard USS IOWA in which 47 sailors were killed. He considers Walker Evans, Eugene Smith, Paul Strand, Robert Frank, Lewis Hine, Weegee and Elliott Erwitt to be his greatest inspirations. He lives in Croton-on-Hudson with Helen and their son Jonah. While recently many of his assignments focus on sports; his favorite photography comes from capturing the beauty of everyday life in and around New York.
