About Robert Poole

Robert Poole is a “retired” University Professor. His scientific and laboratory background led him away from “yet more computer work” to traditional photography, wet processing and large format cameras. He still prints in silver-gelatin but increasingly in platinum on fine art papers - perhaps the summit of ‘alternative processes’. He is also one of the few to have embraced Mike Ware’s New Chrysotype process for printing in pure gold. He has attended workshops with monochrome masters including John Blakemore, Fay Godwin, Jan Groover, Alan Ross and John Sexton. He has exhibited in the UK, USA, China and Australia and been published in numerous periodicals and books. He won the 2020 Dr Mike Ware Award for alternative photography.
