Setzt Akzente, knüpft an Bestehendes an, erschafft Neues. Hat Bock auf Ästhetik, Form und Kommunikation.

Rob Lewis

(Portrait by my friend Stephen Salmieri)

The uncharted path is my first choice as I embark on the search for the perfect image. I give depth to my work by pushing myself to the limit both mentally and photographically. My goal, to deliver a viewer experience based on the perception of both strength and weakness.

Born in Barbados, at the age of six, my family relocated to Switzerland. After school I decided to follow an apprenticeship in cabinet making which abruptly ended. Next I began training in the field of multimedia and after graduating I worked as a graphic designer for six years with visu’l AG. It was during this period that I began working with photography. I travelled the world developing my photographic skills. On my return to Switzerland I enrolled at the school of design Medien Form Und Farbe in Zurich. For the last eight years I have worked as a freelance photographer. My camera has taken me far and wide and is my constant source of passion and inspiration.

My work is carried out through close dialogue with clients. The intention is always two-dimentional, the photo must carry the message and the camera must reach in and grab the truth of the moment. I work the only way I know how, hard and honest.

Carpet ist ein guter Grund. Für Inhalte, die gerne im Mittelpunkt stehen. Für Grafik, die Formen spricht. Für Bilder, die bewegen. Und vor allem: für Disziplinen, die zusammenspielen.
