Robert ("Bobby") Sager is an American photographer, writer, and activist.

Born in 1954 in Boston, MA, and raised in a household actively standing for African American civil rights,

he joined the Gordon Brothers Group in 1985 where he served as President and grew the company from a $10M to a multibillion dollar enterprise in North America, Europe, and Asia.

In 2000, he left active management of Gordon Brothers and founded the Sager Family Foundation whereby he and his family traveled and lived in developing and war-torn regions. Building on the notion of hands-on,

"eyeball to-eyeball" philanthropy, he has spent 20 years working in countries to conceive, develop, and operate aid programs and initiatives to uplift communities and foster sustainable economic
development, as a catalyst for change.

Bobby's photographs leverage the intimate bond between photographer and human subject.

By creating a "visual conversation" with them, Bobby acts as a mediator, allowing audiences to feel an
"authentic connection" and to see humanity as one entity. His proximity to his subjects increases our mindfulness and causes us to reflect on how we might make choices in our lives to positively impact the lives of others.

His photography has given rise to several publications where the images convey his philosophy and deliver an urgent call to action, namely, for people to take "concrete baby steps" as part of their individual responsibility

to effect change.
