Bed of Fiction
Bedtime Story
Finding Warmth in Winter
Joel Robison
1986-present
Joel Robison is a thirty year old photographer from British Columbia. He works as a teacher and only started photographing about six years ago. When Joel began he had limited photographing experience, but an unlimited imagination.
Joel uses a very imaginative, whimsical style. His works express his love of literature. Many of his works experiment with size, scale and movement. All of his images tell beautiful stories. both in his eye and in the eye of the viewer.
Joel creates magical images that weave across the line of reality and imaginary. His works are inspired by the fantasy worlds created by many eccentric authors. In Joel's images he creates a world that everyone can relate to, and within which everyone can create a story of their own. His works all have a positive, calming and intriguing semblance.
The way I view photography has been greatly altered by Joel's works. He has made me think about an image so much more before I create it. I now think more about what the final product will look like and how I need to adjust it so I can get the final image I desire.
Joel has me wanting to turn every image and scene into a magical world of fiction.
My images aren't quite as magical and seamless as Joel's are. My images have the basic thoughts and ideas, but need that final more experienced touch. I really want to expand my knowledge and experience so that I can create those seamless images that weave between reality and imaginary.
The story my images tell is the story of the peace, comfort, security and warmth you find in the fictional world. Books are such a magical place where you can leave your body and fall between the leaves of a good novel. The book world is a place where no matter how cold you are, you feel warm. No matter how worried you are, you feel safe. No matter how tired you are, you keep on reading. The fictional world is a world many of us always long to live in. Even when a world has monsters, demons, and horrors, we wish we could be there for we feel there is nothing there that can harm us.
