About Robin Weeks

Robin’s passion for photography manifested itself during many camping safari excursions into the wilderness as a tour guide in Namibia and Botswana during his twenty two year stay in Namibia from 1985 to 2007. This allowed him to delve deeply into nature’s diverse and largely unexplored belly. The sheer beauty, isolation and vastness of African landscapes and the people, flora, fauna and geology of the mysterious Namib and Kalahari Deserts continue to this day to be his inspiration. 



​His work in social research  such as situation analyses on orphans and vulnerable children, gender-based violence, early childhood development, social impact assessments and HIV/AIDS mitigation for clients such as UNICEF, World Bank, government ministries and NGO’s in developing African and other countries, allows him to travel extensively and enjoy incredible experiences, as well as take advantage of wonderful photographic opportunities. He has worked in South Africa, where he now lives in Knysna, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, DRC, Liberia and Rwanda in Africa as well as in Tajikistan in Central Asia.

Robin prefers capturing images of life and nature's glory "accidently", making use of natural light rather than "setting them up" using artificial light. Photographic images with a striking dash of colour, especially red, or oxblood, in a monochromatic scene and printed onto a large canvas or small greeting card, is what he presently enjoys creating. He has outlets that sell his work across South Africa. Robin hopes that you, the viewer or, possible prospective buyer, might enjoy them too. "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL - RECORD IT"
