Robin Ek was born in 1977 in a quiet town in Sweden's south. Despite studying foundations of photography already at high school, he didn't truly connect with the medium until his early forties when rediscovering photography as a meditative counterpoint to a high-pressure career in design and advertising.
Robin sees photography as a way of soul-searching and attempts to get closer to feelings and impressions otherwise difficult to articulate or address.
Trying to stay free from genres or stylistic definition, Robin's work straddles street photography, nature, and abstract to compose visual narratives that often end up somewhere between fiction and observation.
His first photo book Inner Visions was published in 2019 in collaboration with publisher Another Place Press.
