“No film can be too personal.
The image speaks. Sound amplifies and comments.
Size is irrelevant. Perfection is not an aim.
An attitude means a style. A style means an attitude”
Working with legends like British film director Lyndsay Anderson and contributing to iconic institutions such as British Pathe and the BBC, Rob’s grandfather was a beacon of innovation in visual storytelling across Europe and Africa, starting in the late 1940s.
Immersed in a world filled with his grandfather’s stories and ground-breaking techniques, Rob was destined to follow in these giant footsteps. His childhood was a rich tapestry of lessons and lore from a bygone era of visual artistry, setting the stage for what would become a remarkable and unconventional journey in photography and filmmaking.
Rob’s approach to photography is as unique as his lineage. Specialising in capturing the raw energy and intricate beauty of equine and public events, as well as the untamed essence of wildlife, Rob’s lens brings to life the unseen and the unforgettable. His style is a continuous evolution, driven to push the limits of visual storytelling with every shot.
““The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.” ”
Beyond the still image, Rob's ambition extends to the moving picture. From documenting the daring world of equine stunts to exploring the depths of human emotion in short films, his work seeks not just to capture moments, but to weave narratives that resonate and inspire. A recent highlight in his career was the completion of a Master’s degree in photography at Falmouth University in 2020, a stepping stone toward his aspiration for a dual mastery in television and cinema. This relentless pursuit of excellence defines Rob’s approach to his craft, as he seeks new horizons in visual storytelling.
Collaborating with Outlaw Entertainments since 2019, Rob has been at the forefront of revolutionising film and photography within the equine stunt scene and live shows. His vision for 2024 is clear: to immerse viewers in the heart of the action, creating experiences that blur the line between spectator and participant.
Rob’s portfolio is a testament to his skill, his passion, and his unique vision. Through his lens, every image tells a story, every frame a window to a world both wild and wondrous. Join him on this journey of discovery, where every image speaks.
