Robert Peek

George Orwell knew it. And Robert Peek knew it too: 1984 is decisive. And where Orwell had a depressing view of the world, Robert saw the beauty of the surroundings. So, in that iconic year, he started his own photo studio in Rotterdam. During his studies at the Royal Academy of Art, Robert developed a love for compositions with beautiful uses of light. It became his trademark in successful advertising photography, from photography for advertisements to fashion stills and product photography. Throughout Robert's career, he has attracted an increasing number of domestic and international clients. Companies such as Yamaha, Coca-Cola, Mammoet, Big Green Egg, and Inno Essentials. But inspiring advertising agencies like DLVS, Nijgh, and Waal aan de Maas also visit Robert. Robert's personal work focuses on the loneliness found in deserted areas. But also encountered in busy locations—in shops, restaurants, or at markets. This results in lifelike images with a rawness that is sometimes perceived as melancholic. Especially when it comes to his portraits.
