About Wilson Roberts

Wilson Roberts is a native of Chipley, Florida and currently resides in the Oklahoma City area. He is a graduate of the University of Florida and the New York Institute of Photography.

He began photographing friends with a Kodak Brownie when he was in high school. While in college, he graduated to a Yashica 35mm camera with which he began photographing landscapes.

Over the years, his subjects have been as eclectic as his personality. He enjoys shooting scenery, wildlife and flowers as well as travel photography. As he says, “I like to photograph anything that is beautiful, unique or evokes a sense of emotion. I see photography as an art form and I want to present the subject in an image that tugs at the viewer’s emotions.”

Like many other contemporary photographers, he shoots mostly digital these days, although he keeps film cameras handy. “Digital provides instant gratification,” Wilson says, “and it is so flexible.” He shoots mostly with a Minolta 7D DSLR with a 28-300 zoom lens.

Wilson has traveled to several European and African countries in recent years to get photographs but says there are just as many opportunities in the states. He has just completed an exhibit at the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum in Oklahoma City.
