Biography
Robin Mellor is a young vibrant photographer living and working in London.
He produces dynamic and creative images, which range from serene to
electric. He works in studio and on location, always incorporating the
same loose, laid back style.
Robin is always looking to push the boundaries of how he produces his
images. He often incorporates non-models in his staged work, creating
spontaneous and genuine images. The result is an unaffected outcome
from a contrived concept.
Robin is a versatile photographer, principally working in fashion, portraiture
and photojournalism, predominantly in the fashion and music industries.
His wide ranging influences come from his experience of growing up in
a small Northern town, to travel, fashion and music. He is fascinated
by people and their obsessions and eccentricities, always looking at
the exceptionality of normality.
Statement
"I was born and raised in Cheshire, I lived there until the age
of eighteen. The backdrop of my childhood was Cheshire in it's various
guises, whether it was the rolling countryside or its industrial towns.
My family and some friends still live there today, which gives me the
excuse to visit, although I definitely don't get to spend as much time
there as I would like, and it now seems increasingly harder to leave
once I manage to get there.
While growing up I wouldn't say that I didn't appreciate it, however
when I now return, the beauty of the place really grabs me.
I think Cheshire will always be my home, even if I only spend a matter
of weeks there each year. The people, the surroundings and the cheeseÉ
in this case it really is where the heart is."
