ABOUT
Meet the Photographer
​
Rob Farrands
I learned to handle a camera and use a dark room at university guided by my friend David Sawyer. He also drew me into being his assistant on the University newspaper.
​
From the beginning I have taken photography seriously although I did not pursue it as a career until much more recently. I began my career outside of photography by being called to the Bar and practising in London.
​
Since becoming a full time photographer I have qualified as an Associate of the British Institute of Professional Photography. I use photography to support local communities; also the charity Soundabout in its use of music to enhance the lives of disabled children and their families. I exhibited monochrome landscape pictures in March 2019 at St John's College.
​
I am currently working on a project to raise awareness of the risk to health of reduced human contact during the Covid pandemic.
