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.

Portraits of Steven Ogg

Last week, I had the privilege of photographing actor Steven Ogg at my Los Angeles studio for my ongoing Selah project. My portraiture has long been shaped by the visual language of Renaissance and Baroque painting—particularly the works of Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Titian, and Ribera. Their mastery of light, atmosphere, and psychological depth continues to inform how I approach contemporary portraiture.
