About Me
Welcome! I'm Bob Lorimor. For over 40 years, I've been telling stories through the lens of a camera and the power of the written word, specializing in travel and editorial assignments.
My Approach
Authenticity is key. Whether photographing remote landscapes, documenting local culture, or profiling interesting individuals, I aim to create work that resonates, informs, and provides a genuine window into the subject. My combined skills in photojournalism and writing allow me to deliver complete, compelling packages.
Global Experience
My career includes a significant 12-year period living and working from Bangkok, Thailand. This experience provided deep insights and resulted in published work in outlets like Bangkok Prestige Magazine and Bangkok Jungle.
Midwest Base, Global Reach
I am currently based in St. Joseph, Missouri. Conveniently located just north of Kansas City International Airport (MCI), I am readily available for assignments both domestically and internationally.

Ever since he found the stacks of National Geographics in his grandmother's basement, Bob Lorimor has dreamed of becoming a photojournalist. After studying mass communications at Buena Vista College, he has worked for numerous newspapers, including the Spencer Daily Reporter and the Waterloo Courier. He won the Iowa Newspapers Association 'Photograph of the Year' in 1986 while at Spencer. In addition, his picture stories and layout designs won many 1st places in the Iowa Press Photographers Association's clip contests in Waterloo.
In 1987, he traveled to Los Angeles and Orange County and worked as a photographer's assistant to commercial photographers Don Dormeyer, Bud Lammers, Jim Porter, and Ernesto Rodriguez. While there, Bob also explored fine art photography, thus finding work with clients such as Orange County Performing Arts Center and Ingram Micro-D.
In 1997, Bob traveled to Thailand to work as a freelance photographer and writer. He works with Bangkok Jungle, a music scene website in Bangkok, and with Bangkok's Premier Magazine. He also designed the magazine, Inspirations for Bangkok's Dance Center.
After the birth of his son in 2009, he moved back to the USA. He and his family settled in Saint Joseph, MO, only minutes north of Kansas City. He recently published a magazine about his son's little league baseball team, The Magical Season, available for purchase from Blurb Books.
