Robin Feild
Chichester, West Sussex
First image I remember taking was at school on a homemade pinhole camera for a science project. I have loved creating images ever since.
MessageBIOGRAPHY
Robin took his first ever photograph using a pinhole camera made of a shoebox, held on an old science lab retort stand and managed to get a photograph (albeit not a very good one!) of Margaret Thatcher as she drove out of the House of Commons.
However, he didn’t begin his photographic career until the late 1980s when he got his first job in a Fine Art Photography studio in London. From there he became a professional Photographers’ assistant working in the portrait, advertising and editorial fields, before going out on his own.
In the late 1990s Robin moved away from stills photography and into Production, working on commercials and production managing short films, finally working in a broadcast hire company for six years, until moving to Chichester with his wife in 2010 where they have rebuilt an old derelict house to create a successful Boutique Bed & Breakfast.
Robin’s passion for photography had never diminished, and since moving to the South Coast he has, in his wife’s words “returned to his first love” However, the success of the Bed & Breakfast means he doesn’t stray too far, even though, given the chance, he would be taking dawn photographs instead of cooking scrambled eggs!

Statement
ARTIST STATEMENT
Photography for me is about exploration and study of my environment. I set out to capture perspectives of the landscape that often go overlooked, and to focus on close details. I will sometimes use several techniques both in the camera and in the digital darkroom to create my images, blurring the traditional definition of a photographer. Long exposures, camera movement and multiple exposures enable me to create totally unique and evocative images; the beauty of the art is the constant evolution of myself as a photographer.
