BIOGRAPHY

---

Graham Hobart offers a unique approach to photography. Growing up during a civil war in Africa as well as having lived on three continents may explain why his work is anything but ordinary. 

At age ten he was carving stone at the feet of native Zimbabwean artists. While still in high school he began casting bronze sculptures and painting in oils. This was followed by a period of where he began to explore as much of the African subcontinent as he could, sometimes by canoe or bicycle simply because roads did not exist. 

"It was during these travels that I realized that I just had to have a camera to record all those incredible experiences", Hobart says when asked about the transition to becoming a professional photographer in 1985. So from the simple desire to share his stories with others he bought his first camera and the next great adventure began.

Being a commercial photographer brought great satisfaction but not much meaning to Hobart so he was constantly exploring other avenues of creativity behind the scenes like sculpting or fixing homes for the poor.

After so many years the pursuit for the perfect image hasn't left Hobart.
