Robin’s work can be interpreted as an intricate study of objects with an emphasis on exquisite lighting techniques and vivid graphic composition.
His illustrative imagery focuses on texture, shape, form and abstraction, resulting in photographs of seemingly larger than life objects.

“I like to play with the ambiguity of scale and size. There’s nothing in these images to define either size or scale and you don’t know whether you’re looking at something macro/micro or to the other extreme, something planetary.”

Initially planning to study medicine, Broadbent approaches his work with the nuance of a poet and an unmatched surgical precision.
He embraces a monochromatic, minimalistic approach, challenging our perceptions in a way that recalls the early days of Surrealism, and experiments with the playfulness of his work.

“My work is a study and exploration of objects. I keep things very simple and reduce down to the minimum, with a balance of interest and tension with the negative and positive spaces.
I get excited by shape and form and how they interact or repeat – either in a random or organized way.”
