Roberto Dutesco
Roberto Dutesco is a New York based photographer, poet and film-maker. Romanian born, he studied Photography in Montreal, where he moved when still a teenager. Dutesco soon became a sought-after fashion photographer. With the spirit of a globe-trotter, he portrayed prominent personalities of our times, such as Pierre Trudeau, the Dalai Lama and Mikhail Gorbachev.

After moving to New York in the early nineties, he devoted much of his time to several now completed projects: “The Wild Horses of Sable Island”, “The American Sandscape”, “Rocks and Things”, “Flowers & Dreams”, “Brincusi - The Endless Column”, “The Human Landscape”, “Waters” “The 14th Dalai Lama” and the poetry book “Ethereal Reflections.” Roberto’s travels have taken him through more than sixty countries and left him with a fascination for this “One World” in which we all live and share.

His short films “Times Square” and “Sable Horses” have been screened and favorably reviewed in several film festivals across the U.S., culminating with the multiple award winning documentary “Chasing Wild Horses” - a CBC / Arcadia Production.

The “Sable Island Journey” has been his main focus and dedication. Since 1994 his efforts to document and showcase The Wild Horses of Sable Island have played favorably in the conservation and protection of Sable Island. His New York City, SOHO gallery (est.2006), presenting this 17 year documentation of Sable Island and its band of Wild Horses has been picked as one of 50 places one must visit in NYC - by AAD, teNeues, 2010.
