After serving in the army in World War II, Chicago-born photographer Robert Koropp attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he received his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. Later he studied photography at the Art Center School in Los Angeles, California. Through his photography, Koropp combines his science and art backgrounds in experimental ways, creating images that make the viewer look twice, creating manipulated images in a time before Photoshop.
