After serving in the army during 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 combined his background in science and art in experimental ways. Using a medium created to capture realistic images, Koropp's photographs make the viewer look twice at what the image is of, creating abstract photographic images in a time before the current digital technologies. After a successful career as a soldier and in commercial advertising, Koropp created multiple bodies of experimental photographic works, including micro-photography, cityscapes, still life, and motion images.
