Robert Keslow

Owner, Chief Executive Officer

Not satisfied with the mediocrity he saw in the existing rental houses of the day, and feeling that the LA/Hollywood film industry deserved more personalized service, Robert founded Keslow Camera in 1990, applying the principles and great work ethic he gleaned from his many years of experience at various camera rental houses and as a freelance camera assistant.

Robert has pushed the company from its tiny beginnings to the force in the industry it is today, garnering clients ranging from Emmy award winning network television shows to Academy Award winning feature films, nationally broadcast television commercials, and award winning music videos.

Robert is a proud member of many industry organizations, including the International Cinematographers Guild IATSE (ICG, Local 600), and associate member of both the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) and Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP). He is also a member of the Production Equipment Rental Association (PERA).
