What is a Rob Williams?
Rob first become interested in photography as a child. He clearly remembers sitting in the stand at the old Gabba, looking through his dad’s vintage binoculars in wonder at how much detail he could see. To Rob it looked just like the photos in the cricket books given to him some years earlier As he continued to look through the lenses he would pretend to shoot images of what was happening on the pitch. Alas, a love of photography was born.
It took Rob a few more years to get his hands on the type of gear that would allow him to fulfil his dream, but when he did there was no stopping him. He started shooting sports photographs for The Satellite newspaper on weekends while working a day job for Australia Post. This quickly turned into an all-round affair of sport and people images.
Rob quickly built an impressive folio of images which caught the eye of the team at The Queensland Times newspaper. And in March 2007, he joined the team as a cadet photographer. ‘
13 years at the newspaper fueled Rob’s love of his town, and the people in it. Along the way, his Facebook page, The Ipswich Photographer was born. In 2013 he launched his first exhibition, Faces of Ipswich.
2020 was tough for many people. Rob and hundreds of other people across the country were shown the door, with newspapers closing their doors for the last time. The end of Rob’s newspaper career coincided with the end of an era for a newspaper that was 160 years old.
Rob’s time away from photography in 2020 has taught him a valuable lesson. Behind the camera is where he needs to be. If he is looking through a camera he is at peace, and he is closer to his career quintessence.
