About me.

Meet Bobby Stormer, a suburban native born and raised in northern NJ.  Since his youth, he has had a natural inclination towards creativity, beginning with drawing and eventually transitioning to photography 10+ years ago. Over the years, Bobby has honed his photography skills in a variety of genres, ranging from street photography to weddings, and everything in between.  However, about five years ago, he discovered a genre of photography that completely transformed his world - wildlife photography.

Thanks to Steve Irwin, Bobby has been fascinated by animals since childhood. Therefore, when he embarked on his exploration with wildlife photography, he knew that he wanted to devote a significant amount of his time to the animals themselves rather than just the photography aspect.  Throughout his journey, he started volunteering his time with wildlife rehabilitation rescues, dog rescues, and conservation efforts. This experience has been instrumental in his success in reading animal behaviors, tracking wildlife, and capturing those treasured moments.  For Bobby, wildlife photography serves as a means of escape from the chaos of the world and a way to express his emotions through visual art. You’ll quickly discover that he has developed a profound love for wild canids, particularly Foxes.

Bobby is fortunate to have a loving wife who supports his passion, along with the newest addition to the family, Elijah! His wildlife photography has earned him awards and has been published on various platforms. Through his work, he hopes to inspire others to pursue their passions and find solace in the things they love.  In the end, he strives to make a positive impact on animal welfare across the globe!

It all starts with an idea…

“So informative and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge!”

“I recently attended the Wildlife photography seminar held by Bobby Stormer at Unique Photo's NJ location. I was thrilled to find out about this event on Unique Photo's calendar and I hope they will offer more nature and wildlife opportunities in the future after seeing the great turnout. Bobby presented the seminar comprehensively and in a relatable way, displaying his passion for animals and photography. He didn't just click through a slide show, which made it more engaging—well done, thanks.”

Testimonials

I wanted to commend you, as the older gentleman did, in being so vulnerable and sharing your mental health challenges and how photography has helped you. I think that resonated with more people than you would think, including myself. Thanks so much for setting an example. Excellent presentation.”

“Unique Photo is AWESOME. I used to be a wedding photographer and put the camera down so I can watch my kids grow up. Well, they are all older now and I’m back in the game. Purchased all new camera equipment. Dealt with Bobby. Bobby is phenomenal. He knows exactly what he’s taking about. He even tried to save me money by purchasing a used camera. I truly appreciated that. Bobby and the entire staff are fantastic. I highly recommend Bobby and Unique Photo for all your photography needs.”
