A trained photographer, Rob has been interested in taking pictures since he was 8 years old and he is very passionate about it.
He ran a small photography studio in Wellington many years ago before he started out on his own with the cleaning business, and he had kept photography as a hobby.
"I've dabbled in a bit of commercial photography," Rob says.
"When our business finally closed down because of Covid-19, my wife looked at me and said 'You're a professional photographer. Why don't you do that?'"
Getting older had made the cleaning work harder on his body, so the need to change direction may have been a blessing in disguise for Rob.
