Our Story
The Gladden Legacy
Gladden Photographs is a Tampa Bay photography name built across two generations.
Founded by Robert “Bob” Gladden, the family’s photographic legacy includes published work featured in The Ocean World of Jacques Cousteau. His son, Robert “Rob” Gladden Jr., grew up surrounded by photography and began developing his own experience at an early age.
Rob served as photo editor for his school newspaper throughout junior high and high school. He later worked as an event photographer for Best Buy, photographing concerts and special events from Best Buy’s exclusive area at the amphitheater at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.
Today, Rob carries Gladden Photographs forward with a focus on sports, concerts, events and editorial photography, continuing the family tradition while creating a new chapter of his own.
