Part of Bobby’s series of modern works using multiple exposures on a single sheet or frame of film, Liberty is a work of modern art from 5 Exposures on a single frame of Portra Film offering multiple perspectives of Lower Manhattan via sailboat. The series started by accident with a mislabeled film holder in Colmar, France. Bobby loved the image so much he began experimenting with this technique bringing it first to Venice, Italy capturing Windows of Venice, and Signs Everywhere before trying it stateside in the Big Apple.

“Sometimes when you are in a beautiful place, it’s very difficult to choose which perspective to focus on (no pun intended). So I just decided to photograph as many as I could and do it all on a single sheet of film.”

Windows of Venice along with Signs Everywhere represent another pivotal point in Bobby’s evolution as an artist. The idea started with his image Deux Lieux (French for Two Places) - created after a single sheet of 4x5 film was accidentally exposed twice in two different locations in Colmar, France.
Windows of Venice and Signs Everywhere took the idea a step further by exposing a single frame of medium format film 5 or more times (each with a subject matter theme) - remembering with each exposure where the previous exposures were positioned on the film in order to achieve an overall balanced composition - and then printing them as negatives. This series of works marks yet another milestone in Bobby’s break with the traditional views of the photographic medium into a style all his own, offering the viewer an almost abstract aesthetic with a sense of place.

A staple - and to date the best-selling landscape image - in Bobby’s Signature Film Negatives Series, Country Road offers a modern interpretation of a traditional scene in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country. The piece has been installed in homes from coast to coast in the United States and was featured in Charleston Style and Design Magazine. On a cloudless day over the Russian River Valley, a film negative offers insight into the exotic and transformative qualities of the natural world. Even under the most ordinary conditions when colors seem dull under harsh light, time alone in nature offers inspiration enough to transcend circumstances and aspire to new realities.

Over the years I’ve found that the creative process often moves forward as the result of fortunate accidents. In this case a mislabeled film holder resulted in the same sheet of film exposed at two locations in the town of Colmar, which by happenstance, beautifully tells the story of the French and German cultural dichotomy that this town is known for. In another twist, “Serrurerie” seen on the sign to the left, translates to “locksmith”, a fitting compliment to the image of the quaint door at the center of the composition. Deux Lieux - which translates in French to “two places” - is a critical work that helped shift my view of photography as a traditional documentary medium to a medium of contemporary art, by extension paving the way for a series of intentional double exposures culminating most recently with “Transcendent.”

“Photography” when literally translated means to paint with light. When used properly with preconceived creativity, the camera allows one to paint the real world in a very surreal manner. An extremely long 2-minute exposure drastically exaggerates the texture of this scene over the Pacific Ocean viewed from a beach just south of the San Clemente Pier on the coast of southern California. It was an evening so clear that Catalina Island can be seen on the horizon nearly 40 miles away.

Stars & Stripes is from Bobby’s Best-Selling and Signature Film Negatives Series offering Modern Art from 4x5 Film + Red Rock Canyon
I found and photographed this scene on medium-format film in late January while climbing in the Calico Basin area and loved the results so much that I felt the need to return to it with "The Beast" (My 4x5 Large-Format Film Camera) - despite the difficult location - in order to do the incredible detail in this scene justice. Between the approach hike and the trad climbing, getting the gear to this location was a pain in the a** (literally) but well worth it in the end.
The American Flag has been the subject in the work of many of the most iconic artist in modern history. As an extremely patriotic guy myself as well as a proud resident of Las Vegas, I am thrilled to have found my own rendition hidden among the high peaks of Red Rock Canyon. Live Inspired. - Bobby Wheat

Inverted Aspens | The Image That Changed Everything
In 2016 Bobby was at a lab in Flagstaff, Arizona called Hidden Light, making traditional darkroom silver gelatin prints from Negatives, and while he loved this negative on the light table, every time he made the conversion print to a positive image, it just didn’t seem right.
After a couple of days, it finally dawned on him to print the negative as he saw it on the light table. So he used a slide Film printing process, made a print, and his Signature Film Negatives Series was born.
“‘Inverted Aspens’ changed everything. The Film Negatives Series became the summary of my entire career. The rejection at the beginning of my career showing landscapes in an overly saturated landscape market, the constant striving to create something new, to make my own mark on the photographic medium - my legacy finally began to take shape with the Film Negatives Series. And it changed the way I looked at the world.”

Photographed on Film in 2013 with a composition very much influenced by one of Bobby’s favorite photographic artists - Andreas Gursky (a grid-like arrangement t from an elevated viewpoint) - New York represents Bobby’s first view of the city. Having arrived in the city after midnight, Bobby had already arranged to photograph from this vantage point after finding it via Google Earth. A few hours later Bobby watched from the rooftop on the Lower East Side as dawn revealed what felt like the center of the universe. After spending the morning on location, Bobby decided that the story of the scene would be more ideal under the low light of the setting sun, so he returned again that evening with the Fuji 617 Panoramic Film Camera.
Dream-like clouds form over the Manhattan skyline on an evening in early fall. In the foreground lies Manhattan's largest public housing project juxtaposed against the iconic towers of Midtown on the horizon. The low light of the setting sun carves a maze of contrast highlighting the visual rags-to-riches journey from projects to penthouses. A private rooftop looking due north from the Lower East Side offers a never-before-photographed perspective ripe with a sense of cultural and historical gravity, revealing the essence of one of the world’s most iconic cities. The poorest of poor, the richest of rich, and everything in between. 12 Million shades of grey in a conglomeration of texture, shape, and form, the grit and the glamour, a city never sleeping, but full of dreams. And a world of opportunity awaits those with the vision and unwavering resolve to rise from the shadows and make their mark on the world. Live Inspired.

Dark Horse from Bobby’s Signature Film Negatives Series is a modern reflection (both literally and metaphorically) on a subject that has captivated the hearts of mankind back to the earliest days of recorded history. They are creatures of complexity, meek and mighty, power and grace, and in this case Portra Film offers an insight unlike any other film into the beautiful bright side of this mysterious Dark Horse.

Nearly 6 years after his grand opening in 2011, the demand among his Patrons was growing for Bobby to finally release a portfolio of works from Las Vegas. Weary of seeing the same scenes and sales recipes replicated over and over again in the galleries on the Vegas Strip, Bobby was skeptical to release a Vegas Series until he could do so in a way that had never been done before. In a bold move and massive departure from anything resembling the more prominent bodies of work at the time, Bobby released Las Vegas Triptych, the first image in what would become his Signature and Best-Selling Series - The Bobby Wheat Gallery Film Negatives Series.
Through a process in which his film is printed as negative rather than converting the negatives in the traditional sense, Bobby’s Film Negatives Series literally flipped the script on the way the world views the photographic medium. Showcasing the world in reverse, the exotic color palettes and almost Pop-Art Aesthetic became an instant hit among his Vegas Patrons, and his departure from the traditional perception of the photographic medium into a style all his own was solidified.
His Vegas-Centered extension of the Film Negatives Series - the Vegas Pop Series - would follow in 2021 launching Bobby’s career to a new level of success. Nearing the end of its edition of 25, Las Vegas Triptych is perhaps the most significant piece in the portfolio to date.

Roughly halfway through (and a short scramble off of) the 5.2-mile Kraft Mountain Loop Trail lies one of the most beautiful faces of rock in all of Red Rock Canyon.
A notoriously difficult climb with a gnarly landing on jagged talus, this 20 foot boulder is as striking visually as it is physically for the elite few strong enough to climb it. Here in the low light of January, the long shadows of winter highlight the dramatic texture of the sandstone face.

A personal favorite of Bobby’s, Horizon marks another milestone in his evolution as an artist, here in a shift in style from utilizing long exposures to exaggerate color to one of modern minimalism with muted color, even when photographing traditional landscape subject matter. Using nearly impossible contrast to create texture, what seems like static nonsense when scrutinized at close range crafts a beautiful narrative of light reflected infinitely. Meticulous in his own right, Bobby has built his brand on the premise that the big picture is often a calculated arrangement of monotonous details. This is the first image in Bobby’s portfolio to sell out entirely to a Las Vegas Local clientele. Congratulations to the owners of this career defining work.

The Diverse and Timeless Role of Black & White
A Renaissance of the Old Ways
While black and white represents the most primal form of the photographic medium, it has reemerged as the modern, do-everything CEO of the fine art world.
Designers often use opposite colors for contrast and like colors for harmony. Remove color entirely, and the composition itself takes over that dialogue. A classic subject can inject energy and contrast into a sleek modern interior, or reinforce the warm harmony of a traditional room. Flip the dynamic, and a modern image brings a striking contemporary twist to a classic home while feeling native to a modern space.
Simplified into the basic components of light, texture, and form—and completely unbound by color trends—black and white commands a room without clashing, serving as a timeless centerpiece that adapts as any space evolves.

Bobby’s Recommended Presentation | Gallery Modern (Thin 3/8”W Black Frame) Presentation
Windows of Venice along with Signs Everywhere represent another pivotal point in Bobby’s evolution as an artist. The idea started with his image Deux Lieux (French for Two Places) - created after a single sheet of 4x5 film was accidentally exposed twice in two different locations in Colmar, France.
Windows of Venice and Signs Everywhere took the idea a step further by exposing a single frame of medium format film 5 or more times (each with a subject matter theme) - remembering with each exposure where the previous exposures were positioned on the film in order to achieve an overall balanced composition. This series of works marks yet another milestone in Bobby’s break with the traditional views of the photographic medium into a style all his own, offering the viewer an almost abstract aesthetic with a sense of place.

Fuji GX617 Camera, Fuji Provia Film, f32 @ 2 Minutes
“Photography” when literally translated means to paint with light. When used properly with preconceived creativity, the camera allows one to paint the real world in a very surreal manner. An extremely long 2-minute exposure drastically exaggerates the texture of this scene over the Pacific Ocean viewed from a beach just south of the San Clemente Pier on the coast of southern California. It was an evening so clear that Catalina Island can be seen on the horizon nearly 40 miles away.

Photographed in August 2020 on a 28-Mile, 4-Day through hike from Mammoth to Silver Lake, California, Sierra Secrets was Bobby’s first release in his Summit Series. Nearly 9 miles from the nearest trailhead, Cecile Lake sits on the High Sierra Route between Minaret and Iceberg Lakes at the base of the Minaret Range, one of the most jagged and dramatic stretches of peaks in all of the Sierra Nevada.

Photographed on 4×5 Film and Printed as a Negative, the piece merges the backcountry of the Sierra Nevada with Bobby’s Signature Film Negatives Series showing that even with “old-school” techniques and traditional subject matter, the camera is still very much a tool for Modern Art.
