Robertson was born in Ellensburg, Washington, a small town in Kittitas County, and grew up spending his childhood in eastern Washington State. He attended Central Valley High School in Spokane, during which time he began developing a life-long interest in photography. He bought his first camera at the age of 17, and soon he became a self-taught photographer.
After high school, Robertson briefly attended Western Washington University to study The Arts. In 1983, he travelled to Guatemala to photograph the native tribes living in the rain forest. Soon after, he began a career as a model, living in Europe while travelling all over the world on assignments. In the early 1990's, he was living in Barcelona, but moved to Miami, Florida, to resume his photography career.
Robertson's photography has been featured in such publications as Sports Illustrated. Much of his work has ended up in the magazine's annual swimsuit issue, for which he has photographed such swimsuit models as Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen, Brooklyn Decker, Bar Refaeli, and Nina Agdal.
