Artist Statement

Khalil Robinson uses photography as his own little magic trick to stop time. He has always known that we have a short period of life on this earth and he believes photos are a way to freeze those fleeting moments forever. He uses photography as a way to capture views of our world that can be appreciated at any time, anywhere.

The artwork in this project represents Khalil’s love for the elements of nature, weather and light.

Throughout my years making images Khalil has found the hardest part of photography was how to correctly represent what he saw in that moment onto a framed paper, canvas, wallpaper or screen. The act of preserving a feeling is near impossible but that is exactly why he takes photographs. It’s the reason his work is so important to him and he will forever strive to bring forth the feelings he had while creating these images.

Bio

As a California based photographer, Khalil has spent the majority of his life up and down the iconic coastline, only recently turning his lens back toward his first love, the Pacific Ocean.

Many years as a Product, Interior and Exterior Design photographer has allowed his free time to become important, letting play and daydream spill into his images while away on beach trips.

He has married his two loves, photography and the ocean, into images that bring the dreamy feelings that allow you to move throughout them with a feeling of imagination and bliss.

Challenging the boundaries of traditional imagery and instead allowing for play and wonder, Khalil sends the viewer into the story, careful not to tell it for them.
