The Story Behind the Lens

Every frame tells a story. Every story deserves to be told with passion, precision, and purpose.

Robby Owenby, Robert Mitchel Owenby Photography - Professional photographer and actor in Atlanta

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.
