ABOUT ROBERT YEAGER

Robert Yeager was introduced to photography while working on his school newspaper at San Diego State University.  He is self-taught and learned by experimenting with the medium.  Now he enjoys using his photography skills to follow the various fascinations he has with the world.  You can see this fascination through his most recent images that are a meditation on the ocean, sky and horizon taken within the last year near his current home in Venice Beach, Ca. 

PHOTOGRAPHIC MONTAGE SERIES:

Robert’s love of subtlety is apparent when looking at this new series.  He shot his ‘horizon’ and ‘rain’ pieces over months as an exercise and instead decided that what he liked about each piece was the subtle change each photo represented.  He made the choice to create a grid of photos that show natures slow change.

The ‘horizon’ and ‘rain’ pieces eventually led to shooting the same scene several times over in a grid pattern and building a single photograph from select pieces, creating a sort of puzzle picture that, as a whole, never occurred. That is, each photograph in the grid is its own ‘moment’ and is taken from several sets of pictures that were taken over a short period of time while the scene lasted. This resulted in the ‘panorama’ and ‘vertical’ pieces.
