the BLACK PAPILLON

Robert Simms, Photographer based in Staffordshire, England.

"Art isn't about the art itself, its all about getting away with calling it art"

My view on Photography at the moment is that the photographer must incorporate other skills into their work, enabling them to get noticed, or be willinng to get involved personally. I believe by doing this it will sort the amaeturs from the professionals and that the Technological use in the field is used in some cases to the extreme meaning one can take a poor image and through heavy post production making the image look good unless that is what is desired through the client.

My Personal opinion is get it right through the camera instead of doing it through Photoshop and it should be used if it cant be physically achieved by the Photographer or for slight adjustments to the photo. I do not believe in Over processed Photos because to me that isn't photography.

Examples of my work can be found on Flikr or Fotoblur, links below, prints of all of my work are available so don't hesitate to email me if you would like one.
