Villa Santos-Dumont (2022) Photography by Patrick Joël Robert

Patrick Joël Robert is a professional photographer. Photography is for him like music that he composes starting from an idea, a melody, which takes shape by looking, observing, listening. Once the scene has been viewed, the click freezes it, it is the notes that land on the score, the key is the light, the pitch the exposure, the duration its speed, the intensity the contrasts, and finally the timbre is his style.

He is part of the current of artistic street photography, playing on contrasts, shadows, silhouettes, seeking lines of flight, the resulting depth. In the street, he likes life scenes as much as architectural shots. It is certain that this reminds him of his childhood when, in black pencil, he reproduced scenes and illustrations from his favorite comics, before finally creating my own universe.

Patrick Joël Robert lives and works in France. He started as an autodidact before following a continuing education at Les Gobelins in Paris (France). His work is present in many private collections.
