Maurice D. Robertson began his rapport with photography in 1983.
Through an occasional workshop, informal mentoring with area
professionals and consistent shooting, Maurice Robertson has
developed an eye for composing with light.
He has an affinity for documenting music, particularly jazz,
also dance and theatre performances which he does professionally
as well as candid street portraiture, both here in the US and
abroad in the Caribbean and north Africa. He also explores patterns
in nature and is becoming a better darkroom technician, to further
enhance his photographic vision.
His work appears regularly in New England Jazz News and has
appeared in the Jamaican Magazine, Reach New England, the
national music magazine Bass, Shots, Hartford News and the
Observer. Robertson has also consistently since 1990 been the
recipient of several National Arts Programs' Awards.
Robertson celebrates the African culture experience in
his work as well as drawing attention to those social
themes common to all.
I am putting some of the
Visual Art that has been used in my work throughout the years. I think
this will give you more insight into what I have been striving for in
terms of "complete" expressions. Enjoy. - W.H.
