Biography
Sam Robinson was born in 1979, his father was raised in London and his
mother in Barcelona so Sam and the family spent the early years of his
life between the two cities finally settling in London for his teenage
years. These two different cultures have had a huge influence on his
photography and his life; now he strives to balance his time between
both cities.
Sam was given a camera at an early age by his father and since then
is rarely seen without one. After studying photography at Nottingham
Trent University followed by a couple of years assisting in London Sam
soon started shooting his own commissions and has been freelance ever
since. In 2006 Sam built his studio in central London and is now based
from there.
Sam is currently lucky enough to be shooting commissions across the
world for many varied clients and different subjects.
Statement
"I was born and raised in between Barcelona and North London with
my later high school years in North London. After school I wanted to
further my education in the Arts and enrolled onto an Art foundation
course at Middlesex University. This was a one year course but was certainly
one of the pivotal points of my photography career. During this period
i was so focused on the photography element of the course that, with
some other students we set up a purely photographic element to the course
to enable us to concentrate on Photography. This was a hugely experimental
time with photography for me and from here i produced the work that
later enabled me to enrol in my degree course and the rest as they say
is history...Middlesex for me will always be a hugely influential place
in the history of my career and i look forward to visually discovering
it with fresh eyes."
