The Story Behind the Lens
Every frame tells a story. Every story deserves to be told with passion, precision, and purpose.
Hi, I'm Robby
Welcome to Robert Mitchel Owenby Photography, where bold stories meet sharp framing. I'm an actor-turned-photographer and visual storyteller based in Decatur, GA, specializing in capturing the authentic essence of individuals and brands with an insider's understanding of what works.
My unique advantage comes from being on both sides of the camera. You may have seen me in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Dopesick, or Sweet Magnolias. This experience as a working actor, combined with my background as a casting associate, gives me rare insight into what makes portraits feel genuine, confident, and compelling to decision-makers.
I believe great photography should feel like genuine collaboration, not a performance. Whether you're a CEO building your professional brand, an actor updating your headshots, or a family celebrating life's milestones, my approach reveals your authentic self while ensuring you look polished and professional.
Based in Metro Atlanta, I'm passionate about creating work that celebrates identity, connection, and belonging. Every session is designed to deliver not just beautiful images that impress, but an experience that builds your confidence and leaves you excited to share your story with the world.

Real moments, real emotions, real stories. No forced poses or fake smiles.
Excellence
Every image is crafted with attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Connection
Building genuine relationships that translate into powerful imagery.
Why Work With Me
My unique background as a working actor gives you an edge you won't find anywhere else.
I Know What Works
Having been on set for major productions like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Dopesick, I understand exactly what casting directors and executives look for. You get headshots and brand photography informed by real industry experience.
You'll Actually Feel Comfortable
I know what it's like to be in front of the camera when you don't want to be. My sessions are relaxed, encouraging, and designed to bring out your authentic confidence—not force awkward poses.
You Get Images That Perform
Whether it's booking auditions, landing clients, or building your executive brand, your images need to work for you. I craft photographs that open doors and create opportunities—not just look pretty on a wall.
