ROBERT HARRISON
Robert Harrison is a self-taught, independent photographer from South Africa, shaped by experiences in London, Italy, and now Amsterdam. With a strong background in design and art direction, his work blends raw emotion with refined composition, drawing on his multidisciplinary experience to craft images that are both visually striking and deeply evocative..
Driven by a "constant search for imperfection," Robert is captivated by light but believes it is shadow that truly defines the contours of life. This philosophy brings a profound depth and visual tension to his work, making each photograph feel intentional and immersive. His deep passion for black and white photography emphasises form, texture, and mood, while selective use of subtle colours—often in blue tones—adds a personal, atmospheric layer.
The collection presented at Haute Photographie brings together a selection of Robert’s most personal work—images that explore themes of movement, stillness, and the power of portraiture. Robert’s images stand strong individually but resonate even more deeply when seen as interconnected narratives, inviting viewers into a contemplative space that evokes a sense of place, timelessness, and emotional depth.
