About

Robin Webster is a self-taught photographer born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. She grew up in many locations around picturesque Ontario, and currently resides there, in Waterloo.

Robin has always had a creative flair, which is no surprise given her family background. Her maternal grandfather was a painter, as was her paternal grandmother. Robin’s father was a brilliant writer with many published works, and was known to be one of Canada’s most leading authorities on Canadian broadcasting. Her mother spent many years as a young woman performing in theater in Ottawa.

Robin’s creativity is evident in her eclectic collection of photographic images. After 35 years of pouring her creative energy into her retail management career, Robin is now able to follow her heart’s desire of sharing the beauty she sees around her with the world.

Robin is most noted for her floral photography. She has an eye for colour, and flavours her shots with texture and unique composition. She has developed her skills in photography recently using natural light and visual stimulation from her community and when abroad. Her studies in flora using macro images have been a consistent theme and interest since beginning photography acutely in 2006. Robin’s patience, imagination, and love of gardening bring colour and texture to her work.

Using digital camera work, Robin’s floral photographs portray a wide variety of shots. The different perspectives used by Robin create a variety of contrasts, such as vibrant sunflowers leaping from a vivid azure background, or softly curving tulip stems in a misty setting. Robin brings creative excitement to these photographs by generously displaying facets of flowers not often used by photographers. Robin’s perception of flowers is sure to delight.

As a new photographer, Robin Webster has already won her first award at the juried “International Flower Power Fine Art Exhibition” in Frisco, Texas, USA. This was Robin’s first exhibit. Her work is now showing in other venues in Texas and also in her hometown in Waterloo, Ontario.
