VARIATIONS on the TIME-LAPSE

The dynamic motion in these clips may suggest complexity, yet their creation is surprisingly straightforward, requiring little more than a locked-down camera.


While time-lapse is a familiar technique, Rob’s proprietary methods reinvent it on both macro and micro scales. From sun and clouds racing across landscapes to intricate sequences like plating meals or setting tables, his approach transforms accumulative actions into captivating visuals. Individual moments unfold in real-time, while the larger event is revealed through time-lapse—seamlessly blending the immediacy of the present with the grandeur of time passing.
