"Simply amazing! This is how I would like to describe Roberts photography. I
have worked with many shooters in the past few years with very differing
styles; including a layout for Playboy as well as several high-fashion
sessions. Many of these shots made it into my portfolio, but Roberts work
captured me as who I really am :) He was able to find the actual person
inside the Model! I absolutely love his creative process and felt like being
on a mountain hike with a friend, with posing in a beautiful natural
environment.
Being European I grew-up having a very comfortable relationship with my own
nudity and Robert made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He is very
reassuring and understands the complicated science of perfect lighting as
well as posing. I would say that his photographs turned out the highest
percentage of great pictures of any shoot I have done. Many now adorn the
walls of my house :) Thank you Robert!"

The pictures that Russell McCall makes capture the real-ness and the fires within his models. Not only are they beautiful in an exotic and unique way, the girls he works with appear so natural and comfortable that anyone can identify with them. Their eyes and body language reach out to you. The locations are different and compelling. It is nice to see a woman somewhere other than on the beach. He has an amazing sense of vision that looks beyond just the model, and captures her among the elements.
Working with Russell is also a pleasure because he makes me feel so comfortable. He is always supportive and complimentary while still giving a model good direction and remaining appropriate. I never once felt uncomfortable in my own skin and he made me feel like I actually belonged in front of his camera. I was amazed at how good he made me look. He is patient and was a pleasure to work with. I loved the angles and the way he used my positive assets to compliment the picture, rather than just taking pictures that would not have been as artistic.

"This was my third time modeling. I actually think that it was one of the best experiences I have had modeling. It was life changing; I felt complete, as a model I mean."
- Jessica Oleksi
"The Pictures are outstanding and I'm having such a difficult time picking out the best ones!! The session was very relaxed and enjoyable. You are the man. I will call for this job again, soon. Your work is very moving, and inspiring. Even the black and white pictures are so very indescribably mysterious. Cold, dark & vintage! Well, I could go on and on, but I had only a short moment to drop you a short letter, thanking you for your time, talent, and your ability to make your subjects very comfortable. Thank you again!"
- Mike Dolan
"All of Robert's work that I have seen is tactful, expressive, creative and beautiful…my experience as a model for Robert McCall was wonderful, invigorating and fun. It made me feel beautiful to be a model, and (now this is going to sound a little cheesy but it's true) anytime that I am feeling bad about myself, unattractive, fat, you know those days… I can take out the photos that he took and feel beautiful again even if only for an instant. I strongly recommend that you take part in this great experience!"
- Paige Doughty
"I have known Robert McCall in a professional capacity for 23 years. In that time I have never met a more courteous, prompt, motivated photographer ever. His rapport with people not withstanding, his work speaks for itself. Check out his lighting, color and meticulous attention to detail which is so often taken for granted when viewing such masterful work as his. I not only recommend Robert McCall as a professional grade photographer, I must insist that there is no one else that I would ever use."
- Richard A Bourk
"Working with Robert has been a creatively fulfilling
experience. Robert knows how to allow ideas to flow
and how to make room for the individual spirit of the
model to emerge in its fullness. I have to say
modeling for Robert is fun, liberating, and
intellectually engaging. The creation of each
individual shot is a brilliant collaboration between
observer and observed. Every time I work with Robert I
come away feeling renewed and energized; over the
years of our professional relationship he has grown to
be a valuable personal friend and fellow artist. I
rarely dole out such a recommendation but Robert truly
merits it."
- Brenda Cleary
I really enjoyed working with Robert McCall. He made me feel very comfortable and was always professional. I would say he's the best photographer I've ever had the opportunity to work with.
- Megan Gironda
I have had the pleasure of working with Robert McCall as the photographer for my promotional portfolio. He made me feel comfortable and provided a professional environment for the photo shoot.
His expertise is evident in the final result as these photographs are absolutely wonderful. He is a brilliant artist that I would highly recommend to everyone.
- Tina Wing
Robert is the consummate professional visual artist. If you have not had him shoot you, then you have not really had your picture taken yet!
Okay, for those requiring a more voluminous elaboration:
He is blessed with the artist's eye and a natural talent for capturing all that which is good, true and beautiful within his images. I have had the personal and professional pleasure of having been on both sides of Robert's camera.
As a subject, he made me feel very at-ease, which is remarkable in and of itself. I am far more pleased with his imagery of me than I have been of any other images ever taken of my person. He is the ONLY photographer I will use.
As his assistant, I was impressed at the way Robert can engineer beauty and interest into the most innocuous of settings. His sense of color dynamics is a real treat to experience. I see firsthand how his work empowered the subjects of his work, and gave them confirmation of their true beauty. It is an honor to be able to say that I have worked with Robert.
Both experiences were equally rewarding. His professionalism and respect for the subject is readily apparent to each person who works with him. It is truly wonderful to witness firsthand his expertise in capturing and empowering the beauty that is on display in the human form. Beauty, like love and the law, should be respected and appreciated. I am thankful that Robert McCall exists to capture that beauty in still form for all of us to admire and appreciate. I hope to continue to enjoy both my professional relationship and personal friendship with Robert indefinitely.

An unsolicited testimonial: (Originally published 2/14/04 University of Northern Colorado Mirror Newspaper)
"All right, I admit it … I do have a wild streak.
But who doesn't on occasion enjoy skydiving or a monster truck rally? So when I saw the flyers for "Fine Art Photography," I couldn't resist.
Unlike a lot of people, nudity doesn't scare me. I went to elementary school in Germany and spent a summer on the nude beaches in southern France, so I have become comfortable in "my own skin," pun intended. But this was different. I was the only one naked.
I pictured an old, dirty man luring innocent, stupid college women who were desperate for money into his cheap apartment to take pictures with his disposable camera.
Thoughts of pornography and Playboy crossed my mind. I figured I didn't have anything to lose. I checked the Web site, which was a bit risqué for my Gap-style, but it was worth a shot.
I read somewhere that one of the top-100 things you should do before you turn 40 is to pose nude. Being a firm follower of self-help books, I really took it to heart. So I called the photographer and informed him, rather accusingly, of my concerns and skepticism. He was professional and answered all of my questions, from where the pictures would be published to what I should bring and wear (duh).
Next thing I knew, I had scheduled a "session." I was a model now. Then later that day, while I was getting ready for bed, there were the love handles, suddenly glaring at me. They seemed the size of Texas. Standing there, I became brutally aware of all of my imperfections and what a huge mistake I had made thinking I could ever be naked in front of a complete stranger. Everything from my nose to my calves looked hideous. Self-critical questions raced through my mind. Where did those hips come from? Were my boobs really that small? Had I really gained that much weight since high school?

I began having second thoughts and pitying the photographer that would have to take pictures of me in a few days.
I thought about canceling several times. My excuse for not going was the body blues. But I held true to my word and showed up at exactly 5 p.m. to begin my modeling shoot. I stared at the door and waited several minutes before knocking. I wondered if the apartment building looked like a psycho's building. I called my roommate and left a message giving detailed information about the apartment building and everything I knew about the guy.
The door opened, and a nice-looking man in his thirties smiled and greeted me. He informed me of the process and asked information about my comfort level. The first thing he asked me to do was change into a silk robe and put on some makeup. Silly me, I thought mascara and lip-gloss covered it. Then Robert asked me to come out and do a few basic poses so he could get a feel of the best angles for my body.
After circling me like a hawk for several minutes, while I prayed he didn't notice my hips or the extra weight around the middle, Robert said something I will never forget.
"You are lovely, do you know that?"
Having been single for a few months, those words were music to my ears. I gained the confidence to continue.
First, we went to a vacant apartment studio in his building. At first, I waited in my robe patiently while he set up the lights and scrutinized the shadows and available space. I slipped the robe off my shoulders and let it fall to the floor.
He photographed me and experimented with shadows on my body and face. At first I felt awkward, but as the hours passed, I had a new confidence.
We returned to his apartment to discuss my payment and the next time I might be available. He asked me what I thought.
"My hips are just hideous, and you just spent three hours taking pictures of them," I said. Then he motioned to the television, where he plugged in his digital camera and nude pictures appeared on the screen. It was I. But it was a different Becky, one with poise, confidence and no clothes. These pictures were something of which I could be proud, and so was the experience.
I left floating on air feeling better than ever, in celebration of the exhilarating experience. I slept naked and didn't even poke and scrutinize my hips in the mirror on the way to bed."
