Artist’s Bio
Robbie trained as a textile designer, graduating with a woven textiles degree from the Scottish College of Textiles, and then an MA in Textiles from Central St Martins. A spur of the moment purchase of one of the first consumer digital SLR reignited his passion for photography. Over the last 15 years he has developed his portraiture, still life and abstract photography work as a semi-professional sideline.
He is drawn to strong colours, patterns and textures found in architecture, urban life, lights at night and reflections. He uses various in-camera techniques such as multiple exposures to create his images and patterns, with further manipulation in Photoshop.
After college, he worked as a project manager for a small design practice which specialised in printed fabric signage systems for museums, galleries and retail. Over the years that company developed into Dimensions Displays which he now owns. A recent premises move allowed him to build a photo studio within the railway arch that Dimensions occupies. This gave him the space to develop his photography further and return to textile design. He recently started making one off upcycled tables as well.
Robbie now divides his time between running Dimensions, portrait and product photography, hiring the studio out to other creatives, and producing his own work. His images are available as prints, some of which are currently being developed into a range of interior textile designs. His studio is based in Camberwell near Burgess Park and is available to hire with or without him pressing the shutter.
