Hilary Roberts

I have been involved in photography for about thirty years. I am a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and share the distinction of Master of the International Federation of Photographic Art with less than two hundred people worldwide.

These days I see myself as an image maker rather than a photographer
because there is often a lot of manipulation involved - or, as I call it, fiddling.

My main objective is that people looking at my images feel good - about
themselves, about the world, about life. I sell my pictures to enable me to support a severely disabled little boy in Cuba and all proceeds are used to fund this project.

My work is very diverse and amongst other subjects I enjoy flowers, people,nature, architecture and landscape - and I particularly like to produce unusual and amusing images.

My pictures come from this country and all over the world - and from my
home studio. I look for beauty, strangeness, striking colour,

I have been involved in photography for about thirty years. I am a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and share the distinction of Master of the International Federation of Photographic Art with less than two hundred people worldwide.

My main objective is that people looking at my images feel good - about

My work is very diverse and amongst other subjects I enjoy flowers, people,nature, architecture and landscape - and I particularly like to produce unusual and amusing images.

My pictures come from this country and all over the world - and from my
home studio. I look for beauty, strangeness, striking colour, amazing texture or the perfect light.

I spend days, sometimes weeks, removing unwanted elements, adding
others and applying different, often ‘painterly’ effects to enhance the
finished image. When I am satisfied with the image, I produce giclée prints on a top quality printer. I use textured, archival, acid-free paper, together with archival inks,ensuring that, given reasonable care, the picture will last for a hundred years.

I hold the top distinctions of the Royal Photographic Society and the International Federation of Photographic Art. However, I do not hold any photographic qualifications, being entirely self-taught.

I have had thousands of acceptances and awards in national and international photographic exhibitions over the past twenty years.
