Robert C. Fisher became interested in photography at a very early age much in part due to his father’s influence. His dad was an avid amateur photographer and instilled these values in his son by giving him a simple box camera at the age of 7. Over the years Robert was an eager student of photography and during his high school years worked on the as staff photographer at the high school paper, he also resurrected the darkroom facilities at South Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, N.C. that had languished for many years.

In the ensuing years he worked at WBTV and WCCB television as a news photographer and worked his way up to shooting TV commercials and editing. During this period Robert also directed and shot many short films for himself and friends, several of which won prizes on the film festival circuit. In 1980 Robert met his future business partner and started a commercial production company, Location Video, Inc., which survives to this day as The Avatar Group International. The main goal of the company was to produce TV commercials and content with the highest production values utilizing cutting edge technologies. Location Video used both film and video technology to make unique visuals come to life for a broad range of clients. The partners leaned toward cinematic visuals and comedic stories throwing away the conventional wisdom of the period about what commercials contained and how they looked.

In the mid 80's Robert moved on to work in the emerging motion picture industry in the southeast. He worked as a camera operator/assistant on regional and smaller budget Hollywood productions learning photographic and management skills that would later be put to good use.

He continued to work as a camera assistant and also worked as a Gaffer and lighting technician to hone his skills lighting movies.
