Q1 2020

6 MEA MARKETS / Q1 2020 , Dec19038 Looking Through The Lens of Success By all regards, photography is far more than simply the art of capturing a good photograph. Yes, the lightingmust be right and the angles must be taken into consideration, but the result is oftenmuchmore than its technical elements. Expert photographs capture what words can sometimes fail to do so. Eloise Robbertze is one such photographer, preservingmoments in a state of eternal beauty. After being awarded the title of Best Contemporary Fine Art Photographer 2019, we spoke with Eloise more about her brilliant work. Art is meant to be shared with the world; experienced and felt by all those who come into contact with it. The art of photography is a particularly evocative form, enabling viewers to empathise or resonate with a place or object within a frame. Many photographs throughout history have inspired millions of people around the world, whether it be ‘V-J Day in Times Square’, or a son meeting his biological father for the first time. Photographs have given us ways of remembering places and events like never before, and the ability to share those moments with other people is just one of the things that inspired Eloise Robbertze to become one of the best contemporary fine art photographers at work today. Founder of Eloise R Photography, she is a photographer of the highest talent, producing limited-edition, impressionist, contemporary fine art Giclée artworks. Following her tremendous success within the world of fine art photography, MEA Markets Magazine was fortunate enough to be able to hear directly from Eloise about her work. All things considered, it is an incredibly exciting time for Eloise, and by extension, for artists all over the region, given her upcoming plans for expansion. Her self-made business, Eloise R Photography, is undergoing something of an evolution, transitioning into an international business that is focused on something more; Artysta. During our interview, Eloise expanded on her wishes for both her own firm, and the ever-evolving Artysta. “My personal desire as Eloise R Photography is to provide clients with “The Art of Memories”. I want them to fall in love with the place they have visited through my art. As Artysta, our philosophy is to keep artists and art buyers connected through the love of art. Our by-line, “Stay Artful”, is about supporting the artists so that they can continue to produce, supporting the buyers by ensuring they have access to local, authentic art, and supporting the hotels by encouraging them to support the local community. Our vision is to have a global network of luxury-brand distributors, artists and art lovers enabling people to discover local and international art no matter where in the world they are, thereby creating a more connected global community. In each hotel, Artysta delivers the local art within 48 hours of ordering, directly to the hotel.”
