BEHIND THE LENS

MY EXPERIENCE

Hello, I am bob Foyers. professional studio photographer.

During my time at school, the art department added a darkroom, which attracted me to photography from an early age. I was extremely fortunate to be allowed to use the darkroom with minimal supervision and some basic “how-to” instruction, which sparked my creative spark. It was my parents’ splendid and generous generosity that inspired me to purchase my first proper camera, as well as build a darkroom in my home for the purposes of showcasing my newfound interest in photography.

As a photographer, I spent most of my days either taking pictures or processing them in my darkroom. Having started as a chef, I then furthered this career in the Royal Navy, visiting many countries all over the world. I continued my culinary career when I left the Armed Forces and maintained my passion for photography as a hobby after leaving the Armed Forces.

In time, though, I began to see a love for photography, and I began to expand my portfolio of subjects The wife of mine, Karen, is a wonderful chef. My son, who has now grown up, lives in Norfolk. I am blessed to live in this beautiful part of Suffolk with my wonderful wife, Karen, a chef extraordinaire. I feel extremely lucky to be able to live here. The Peasenhall area is an excellent place for me to stay, as it is so close to both the best of the Heritage Coast and the more rural, remote, and hidden parts of this beautiful county.

Despite the fact that I am passionate about all forms of photography, my favourite part of my job is shooting people, and taking pictures that are filled with personality and authentic, candid human emotions. I had the opportunity to practice my skills in the fledgeling world of digital photography by taking photographs of my own son as he grew from a baby until he was a teenager.

Digital photography allows me to combine the many interests I have in computing with my fascination with visual editing to produce the perfect image – a win-win situation for me since I like to think of myself as a creative “nerd” at heart.

The people I photograph tell me that my work is my passion and that they see this in the way I work, and in the images that I create as well. They recognize this in my style of working and in the results I produce.

Please take a moment to view my portfolios, and for a closer look behind the scenes and a more in-depth look into my creative process, please take a look at my frequently updated blog. I sincerely hope you like what you see and I look forward to hearing from you.
