Rob Trendy:
The Eye Behind ShotByTrendy

I’m Rob, better known as Trendy – a Brighton-based photographer capturing people in their most dynamic and expressive moments, whether on stage, in the studio or out in the world.

Recent recognition includes:

  • Sony World Photography Awards 2024 – Creative Category, Shortlist
  • British Photography Awards 2024 – Fine Art Category, Shortlist
  • Gomma Grant 2024 – New Flavours, Finalist
  • Photography Foundation Awards 2024 – Music Category, Shortlist
  • Motif Collective International Competition 2024 – Silhouettes, Shortlist

Deeply rooted in Brighton’s music and performance scene, I regularly collaborate with emerging bands and talent to create bold, cinematic visuals that capture raw, live energy.

In the studio, I shoot everything from industry-standard headshots and creative portraits to more experimental, collaborative projects that push into abstract and unconventional visuals.

Since starting my photographic journey in late 2023, I’ve built a growing client base, reached finalist stages in multiple competitions and hosted my debut solo exhibition, HOT GLUE, as part of Photo Fringe 2024 – a packed-out, sold-out show celebrating Brighton’s vibrant artistic community.

Always evolving and open to new challenges, I’m available for ongoing collaborations, one-off projects and regular gigs in Brighton and beyond, including travel and tours to capture both onstage energy and behind-the-scenes moments.
