About

I am a photographer who mainly specialises in bespoke portrait photography. All of my work is done on location rather than in a studio as I have portable lighting equipment for both indoor and outdoor use. I find that people are much more relaxed in their own environment. My work varies from headshots to creative costume portraits. I like to bring out the emotions and character of my subjects by engaging with them and talking about how they would like to be portrayed before I undertake any photoshoots. Knowing about a person helps you to get the shots that show the essence of the person. I do not use a ‘standard shot’ approach to my work. I am happy to experiment with creative and abstract imagery and have considerable experience in post production manipulation of images.

 Photographing people is my main interest. In addition to my bespoke portraiture I also have a large and growing collection of street photography. Engaging with an individual, waiting in a place where you intuitively know something will happen or just taking the candid that appears in front of you. Totally different to the portrait work but very satisfying . . .

 I accept commissions and can be contacted at robertphoto21@yahoo.com

 If you ask me I will probably do it – I like responding to a creative challenge :)
