Born in Nottingham, England, Robin Hill attended the University of Sheffield where he earned a degree in Geography. Realizing that his dreams were in the world of photography, he then headed for London to find work as a portrait photographer. Hill eventually left for the U.S. where he began working onboard cruise ships as a ship’s photographer.

In 1992, Robin met his wife, Cindy, and established a home in Miami where he opened his own photography company. He soon became a regular contributor to American Way (the in-flight magazine of American Airlines). Then in 2000, he was introduced to architecture by the founders of MiMo (Miami Modern), Teri D’Amico and Randall Robinson. He quickly realized his second passion and began a path of self-education in architecture and the art of architectural photography.

Robin quickly revealed his talents and was chosen as one of three photographers to document the vanishing 1950’s and 1960’s buildings in Miami by the Urban Arts Committee, which resulted in successful exhibitions in Miami and New York. Robin also displayed his work at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, and has been published in all major architecture magazines. His exhibitions have helped raise public awareness on architectural preservation, and lead to the establishment of the Miami Beach MiMo district.

When Art Basel Miami Beach was first introduced, Sam Keller, the executive director, selected one of Robin’s MiMo photos for the front cover of the program guide. Robin also worked with the Broward Trust for Historic Preservation to photograph Mid-Century Modern Buildings in Fort Lauderdale and surrounding communities. He created an exhibit that combined photos of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties at both the Museum of Florida History in Tallahassee and at the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale. The exhibition, Going, Going Gone? Mid-Century Modern Architecture in South Florida attracted 800 people on opening night.

Robin’s photos are included in the book, MiMo: Miami Modern Revealed by Eric Nash and Randall Robinson. He has made numerous radio and television appearances, often talking about architectural preservation, photography and the arts. He is a proud member of the Architecture Club of Miami, teaches Architectural Photography at the Miami Ad School and is an advocate for Historic Preservation and balanced development.
