Robert Maxwell

Robert Maxwell is a photographer who successfully balances fashion and celebrity photography with a fine art practice. Combining a rough-edged eroticism with an interest in form and beauty, Maxwell’s deeply expressive portraits, still lifes and nudes are at once contemporary and steeped in the history of photography. His use of nineteenth-century techniques including the glass, wet-plate process known as the ambrotype, and platinum and silver printing, contributes to the rich, dark and reflective surfaces of his photographs.
