“I can’t control it, or even direct it. I’m merely a vehicle for the expression of my ideas.” —Libby

Bob Libby was born in 1969 in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Libby’s digital work is created in Photoshop, using bits and pieces scanned from his photo library. “All source material is shot by me. My nude photography is strictly analog — created with 35mm&medium format cameras and a darkroom,” states Libby.

His inspiration is found in the world around him — looking at books, watching movies, meeting new people, and experiencing daily life situations. All of which combines together in Libby’s imagination, and is created into art. “The way I interpret all these external influences has been called many things such from pornographic to deeply moving and inspirational, and I make no attempt at an explanation of my work to the people who view it. I prefer that they come up with their own meaning and read into as they see it. What is important to me, isn’t what I think a picture means, but what it means to the person looking at it.”
