Robert Picardo: From the Renaissance Lens to Starfleet Academy

March 06, 2026 in Actor Portraits, LA Sessions, New York, Selah

The transition from a "Blank Slate" to a 1,000-year-old mentor is no small feat, but for Robert Picardo, it’s just another day in the life of a photonic legend.

As a portrait photographer, I have had the distinct honor of capturing "Bob" over three separate sittings from Studio City to Glendale and Manhattan spanning a decade—2015, 2021, and now as he returns to our screens in the groundbreaking 2026 series, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Seeing him reprise his role as The Doctor (EMH) nearly 25 years after Voyager wrapped is not just a treat for Trekkies; it is a testament to the enduring presence of an actor who is as timeless as the classical art that inspires my work.
