A portrait of the artist: photographer Dylan Robinson.
I’m a storyteller and one to document moments in time. Being a photojournalist, these moments vary between an array of subjects. Though, no matter how many different people I photograph or stories I tell, I will always be at home with the ocean. I was born in 1991 and grew up on the south coast of New South Wales. I picked up my first camera in 2008 and started recording what I liked to see and share with others.
As part of my job, I like working with people to understand situations and to capture the best possible image to convey either a sense of emotion or whatever it is people need to see. A great image to me is not one that necessarily follows the rules, but one that moves the viewer in one way or another and shows accurately what it is meant to.
I gather a sense of solitude and belonging when in the presence of the ocean. These images are a small summary of the power yet calmness of what surfing life is about to me.
