Everything there is to know about me

Who Am I?

Rob Mickolayck – Owner & Principal Photographer, Sunset Palm Studio

Photography has been a lifelong passion of mine—a way to capture the beauty, rhythm, and wild spirit of the world around us. My work spans wildlife, nature, landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, and real estate, with each photo aiming to tell a story, evoke emotion, and reflect the wonder of the moment.

Originally from Chicago, I spent over 30 years working in the high-stakes world of air traffic control, where attention to detail and precision were critical. After retiring from that career, I embraced the opportunity to reconnect with photography full-time, relocating to the scenic shores of Southwest Florida. The dramatic sunsets, coastal wildlife, vibrant natural surroundings, and the beautiful homes of this region now serve as my daily inspiration.

Through Sunset Palm Studio, I invite you to experience the world through my lens—whether it’s the quiet grace of a heron at sunrise, the vast colors of a gulf sunset, or the capture of the open floorplan of a modern Florida home.
