Beginning in the darkroom of a London newspaper at the age of eighteen, Rob Ball has been a photographer for over twenty years. He spent time working as a news, sport and crime scene photographer before shifting to long-form personal projects while lecturing at Canterbury Christ Church University. Since moving to the coast in 2009, the majority of Rob's personal projects have focused on the coastline and our interaction with it. Funland is his third publication that documents visually-rich coastalscapes and their constantly shifting communities. Rob has exhibited his work internationally and continues to work on projects and commissions while lecturing. He still lives by the sea.
