~About the Photographer~

  Roger Costello hails from Sydney, Australia although his mother and father were born in Ireland and Mexico respectively.  Deciding to make Australia their home, Roger was reared and educated in Melbourne.  Following graduation from high school, he served his country during the Vietnam War.  After his discharge from the army and his graduation from college, Roger's career afforded him the opportunity to travel overseas extensively.  While working in different countries, he took full advantage of the beautiful sites surrounding him and honed his photography skills.

An avid sportsman, Roger participated in both rugby union and rugby league in Australia.  Throughout the years, he has maintained his keen interest in rugby by coaching first the women's and then the men's Pittsburgh rugby teams.  Although Roger's retired from coaching, he still stays active in sports by playing cricket and refereeing rugby.

Throughout the years, Roger has developed his photographic skills and broadened his subject matter to include the following: landscapes, sports, flowers, architecture, nature, and macro-photography.  His work has been sold both nationally and internationally with clients including:  the Enrico Biscotti Company, Sydney Tourism, Washington PA Tourism, various advertising agencies, and local junior sports organizations.  He is also a member of the Pittsburgh Society of Artists.
