Sixty of his images have been published as posters and distributed worldwide.

and he has lectured at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington,
Universities, and professional groups in the United States, as well as

Robert Farber received the Photographer of the Year award in 1987 from the
Photographic Manufacturer's Association. In 1995 he received the ASP
International Award, given by the Professional Photographers of America,
and The American Society of Photographers. This award has been given to
those who have made a significant contribution to the science and art of
photography. Some previous recipients of this award include Dr. Edwin Land
(inventor of the Polaroid), George Hurrell and National Geographic.
Farber's involvement in the Internet began in 1994 with Farber.com, a
virtual gallery of his work. Because of its popularity, Farber created what
is now Photoworkshop.com, which has become the most successful
and unusual way to learn photography for both professionals and amateurs on the internet (receiving 3 million
page views a month). PWS is an interactive community of photographers from all
over the world. Photoworkshop.com is sponsored and endorsed by some of the
most prestigious corporations and organizations in photography including Canon and Adobe.
