Robert B. Haas came to photography as a second career, inspired by his experiences observing wildlife over the course of many safaris. In the years since devoting himself to his art, he has published several books on wildlife, including the children's book African Critters. His photographs have appeared in major exhibits around the world, and his work has been featured in the pages of National Geographic magazine, Time, Forbes, and numerous other publications.
Haas donates all the royalties from his photographic work to nonprofit foundations and wildlife conservation organizations and has been recognized by the WILD Foundation and the United Nations Environment Programme for his contributions on behalf of endangered species and the environment. He is the chairman of the board of Haas Wheat & Partners, a Dallas-based private investment firm. A graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law School, he has endowed professorships and has been a frequent lecturer at both institutions. Haas lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife and six dogs.
