GoSee presents : ‘Roadside Meditations’ by Rob Hammer, appearing at Kehrer Publishing

Rob Hammer is a seasoned photographer, and besides his successful commercial career, he has developed a rich body of personal work which revolves around his numerous road trips through his homeland, America.

‘Roadside Meditations’ is a subtle reflection on the natural and sometimes mundane beauty of this vast country. His images speak about the freedom to be on the road, about the educational, transformative, and meditative character of the time spent traveling. Hammer’s intuitive and nuanced photographs can be read as metaphors for the human psyche. At the same time, they candidly capture the passing of time reflected in the manmade structures within the landscape.

Like a road trip, the sequence of images in the series lines up to become a route of its own, on which the viewer’s eye travels in observation to experience the inimitable American landscape.

“Would it make you want to hire me if I told you about the awards I’ve won or referred to myself in the third person? Whatever. I’m an advertising/documentary photographer based in San Diego, California, most known for my unique way of shooting athletes and adventure. To date, I’ve been very lucky to shoot with legends such as Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, … and many others for clients including Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Reebok, Foot Locker, Puma, Uber, Skullcandy, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Runner’s World, New York Times, and Andis, to name a few. Which all makes me sound really important, but the truth is, I just love being a photographer.” Rob Hammer
