Robert Chris Hardman works out of a small studio that sits on his property where he and his wife have a home in Tampa Florida.
Always drawn to the photographic image with most of his exposure through fashion magazines due to growing up in a house with 3 women. His first and only photography class was a photojournalism class taken in college. It is there where he learned to use a manual film camera along with darkroom techniques.
While he was never interested in becoming a photographer as a vocation Robert pursued the his creative through utilizing the lens. His appreciation of the early greats and their schools is reflected in some of his works. His eye naturally seeks out the simple balance of line and form. He worked out of several rented darkrooms where he gained experience in conveying artistic intent through composition.
After "completing" a corporate career he has finally been able to fully realize this artistic pursuit and return to his creative side in a full fledged endeavor.
