Robin Ward

With over two decades as photographer and graphic designer, Robin Ward has developed a distinct method, leveraging perspective as device and recurring inquiry in her varied bodies of work. She persists in photographing pure landscapes, wildlife, architecture and nature abstractions, utilizing a variety of lenses and techniques.

She spins composites of her images into atmospheric, alternative landscapes that invite playful curiosity into the flow of time. Passage or portal, her work bends and blends dimensions, intermingling actualities. She layers and positions the transitory and terrestrial in nuanced color, measure and depth. Many of these printed works are digitally embedded with animations, converging her original photos and video with augmented reality.

In other current work, she photographs and records the lively rhythm of the ocean’s perpetual motion. Tranquil yet vibrant, soothing yet often turbulent, her aerial seascapes embody a duality of being as luminous waves drift, churn, ebb and flow. Based in Laguna Beach, CA, she uses a drone to capture the fluid tempo of marine life traversing the Pacific Coast.

Robin has received multiple awards from International Photography Awards and International Color Awards, among othe...
