A published, award winning photographer, Robert Schuffert has pursued landscape photography since the mid 1960's. His photographs have been selected for magazine covers and articles and have won numerous photographic competitions. In 2002, Schuffert’s "Golden Gate Blues" image overwhelmed 1200 other entries to win grand-prize in the Decatur Daily newspaper’s photo contest. It is little surprise that Schuffert's well known photograph entitled "Foggy Morning" was selected above other winning entries for the cover of WAFF-TV's 2002 promotional calendar. Schuffert's images have been displayed at the Guntersville Museum and Cultural Center, the Tennessee Valley Art Center, the Gadsden Museum of Art and other artistic venues. Schuffert’s photograph "Foggy Cove" recently took 1st Place in the black and white category at the Gadsden Museum of Art. Schuffert was also invited by the Alabama Bureau of Tourism and Travel to display several of his photographs in their "2006, The Year of Outdoor Alabama" photography exhibit which recently toured the state.

His most recent project, Scenic North Alabama, a 204-page full-color travel guide, is a Schuffert portfolio of over 100 breathtaking sites in Alabama's northern half, captured on film. A Huntsville resident for over 20 years, Schuffert's photographic expeditions have taken him throughout Alabama and the USA in pursuit of his craft. These expeditions not only include popular locales, such as State and National Parks, but also many less-traveled back roads and trails, where exquisite native scenery is a well kept secret. These hidden treasures and remote gifts of nature found within the pages of Scenic North Alabama offer a glimpse of what is tucked behind the hills, beyond the ravines, or just off the beaten track for others to also discover and explore.

Schuffert has revisited historic Alabama structures such as old barns, mills, lighthouses and covered bridges from a bygone era, and frozen them in time through the lens of his camera. His passion for aquatic art forms such as inspiring waterfalls or misty fog is apparent in his photographic persuasion. Schuffert relishes discovering and imaging nature's uniqueness and tranquility. His talent reflects the serenity of the scene. This acclaimed photographer and journalist has studied under several well-known photographers and logged countless miles and years ferreting out nature's beauty. His myriad of technical expertise and training is blended with a lifetime of hands-on experience and innate creative genius to achieve master-level photography and workmanship. Robert Schuffert is recognized and well respected among his colleagues. To further his commitment to his profession, he is an involved officer of the Huntsville Photographic Society serving as VP of Activities.
