Karl F. Ermisch has owned and operated Marrone Photography since 2006. However, he has been a professional photographer since 1982. His first studio, Robel Studio, Inc. has a long history of photographic excellence. Started in 1918 by Max Zintsmaster, the studio was purchased by Don Robertson and Lloyd Elston in the 1940s. It was incorporated in 1962 and the combination of both names formed Robel Studio. With a B.A. degree in Visual Arts from SUNY New Paltz, Karl purchased the studio, then located in Mohawk, NY. Throughout the years, Karl has studied his craft from some of the most noteworthy professionals in the US and abroad. Karl’s photography has earned recognition and awards at the regional, state, and national levels of competition. His photographs have been shown at state and national displays and have appeared in professional photography publications including the Professional Photographer magazine. He holds the coveted Master of Photography degree, awarded by the Professional Photographers of America and has taught other professional photographers across the country.

Karl’s skill gives him the ability to create a very “natural” look in portraits and is just one reason customers come from miles around to Marrone Photography. Imagination, craftsmanship, and professionalism – that’s what sets Karl apart!
