Robert Syvret
Drag to set position!
I am sixty seven years young and and i live in Jersey in the Channel Islands.
Photography has become a very large part of my life especially in the last twelve years, although in my early
teenage life the bug to create began. I used to have a tiny darkroom at my parents house in those days
and i still remember the excitement of watching the prints come to life in the developer solution even
though most turned out not that good .
After leaving secondary school i worked for a photography company where i did developing and printing of
of black and white films. This job lasted for one and a half to two years as my attraction to the opposite sex lead
me away and i recall my fathers disapproval. In retrospect i saw he was right and sometimes wonder how my
photographic path would have gone . Yet i got much inspiration from being there especially from the professional
photographers which has stayed with me all this time.
In this digital age i have made a lot of effort to improve my vision, darkroom skills etc which are all work
in progress. Studying other photographers images and also being inspired by the work of other forms of art
play a big part too.
I enjoy experimenting sometimes with my creative boundaries to see what might occur,
to expand my vision in various ways and not to be too bound by a particular style.
The compelling urge to express myself in the way i see the world rolls on and on in this medium and
still the process is on the whole as fresh as ever from when my photography journey was born.

Robert has vision like no other. His work is unique and serves as such an inspiration. It is a true pleasure to view each one of his works of art, because it is so much more than strictly photography. He takes the rules of photography and bends them, blends them and turns them every which way and the results are mind-blowing. I've learn a lot from Robert.

His work has helped me see things differently and appreciate things I would have otherwise missed. His work if a gift to all of us.

Read lessRobert è un artista della fotografia, oramai è diventato un punto fisso da seguire e a cui ispirarsi. Mi piace molto la sua capacità di rendere i riflessi umani apparentemente insignificanti in opere da leggere e capire. Inoltre l'uso "paranoico" del b&w trasmette una nota di classe che apprezzo personalmente.

I love how he transforms photos into such truly incredible creations, his reflections are amazing and second to none. He has a very unique style all of his own. Robert is a true artist.

Robert, I have recently developed an interest in photography and as part of my foray into this medium I have been using Flickr as both a way of receiving comment on my own work and through the inspirational work of others. My Creative Adventures was immediately a source of inspiration via your wonderful eye and unique view on the world through reflections, shadows and the bending of light this provides. I have also enjoyed your reciprocation on my own work and I thank you for that. Keep up the good work. All the best. Adrian(aka adeypoos)
