Mike Robinson

Mike Robinson's photographic career began at Photographic College in the UK after which he worked in London for a number of years as an assistant and later as a photographer. During a visit to South Africa Mike was offered a great job opportunity shooting fashion. He accepted and continued doing fashion photography for 4 years, after which he decided to start his own professional photographic studio. Setting up on his own, he concentrated on still life and eventually specialised in food and beverage photography, whilst still handling many other aspects of advertising work ie. lifestyle and automotive photography.

Mike has recently converted to digital and has been shooting with the Lightphase and H20 digital backs.The response to this change-over was overwhelmingly positive and his clients immediately accepted it as a superior method of shooting. Working in a digital environment has freed Mike from the time constraints associated with polaroid and film and has allowed him more time to concentrate on the lighting aspect of the shoot at hand - which greatly benefits the quality of the final shot.
