Das Elegante, Ästhetische und Sinnlich-Erotische in den Arbeiten des Briten Rob Johnson entsteht zu allererst durch handwerkliche Sorgfalt und dramaturgische Disziplin. Weibliche Schönheit, deren Reize durch die sensible Arbeitsweise des Künstlers, der sich sowohl auf die Oberfläche, als auch die Individualität seiner Modelle konzentriert, noch besser zur Geltung kommt und ein Flair entfaltet, dessen Duft einer Zeit zu entstammen scheint, die noch frei war von ästhetischer Eitelkeit und moralischem Zwang und in der das Genießen sich nicht nur aufs Essen bezog.

Rob was born in Buckeburg, Germany, but was brought up in England and now lives in a small village in Hampshire.

He has always had a passion for Art, and from this, his passion for photography took hold. From humble beginnings with a second hand Zenith. He has worked with a verity of cameras such as the Olympus, but now mainly uses a Minolta 35mm and medium format Bronica. “Having a good camera is not as important as seeing the image, the camera is only as good as the photographer.” 

Rob started mainly with Landscapes and Still life, finding satisfaction in trying to capture the inner essence of a place or object. He also worked on portraits and from this developed an interest in the human form. Now his main exhibits are of artist nudes and he is continually searching for new way to display the beauty of the naked body in all its shapes and sizes.
