Summer Wine Photograph

Rob Shiels In balance with a business career, I am a self- taught photographer. Having started with videography my sole passion is now still images. My creative process is very mixed. Moving from artistic images, black and white, portraits, street and landscapes. Artistic photography is my one of my favorites as this allows flexibility, unusual concepts, lighting challenges and my camera and lenses become my paint brushes. I am a photographic artist and a photographer. I have my own studio where I can create images, encourage ideas and very importantly, listen to music. My photographic interest is strongly influenced to minimalist in my studio and working with lights to creating the image. Prints with low light or minimal light, abstract or still life scenes in simple forms. The studio allows me to create portrait, artistic, abstract, product and design images. An immediate confirmation of a concept often extends into repeated trials before acceptance and my satisfaction of an image Outside the studio working with nature's natural lines, light and beauty in landscape photography, a relaxing genre. The diversity in my images is a reflection of my feeling or mood. Concepts can come quickly and sometimes I struggle with ideas. That’s normal….. Diversity is constantly creating new and evolving works. I have many ideas yet to be produced, some will succeed, and some will fail, but constantly challenging. And that is great. All of this, is for my own enjoyment, satisfaction and pride in my work. But also, for others to enjoy.
