Hi, I'm Robby Ogilvie from Edinburgh United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Robby Ogilvie (b.1986, Edinburgh) is a Scotland based award winning photographer and lens based artist exploring perception, place and the shifting boundaries between clarity and ambiguity. His work moves between conceptual and post documentary photography, working across digital, analogue and mobile formats, with a focus on everyday environments where structure, colour and light begin to slip into something more surreal.

He holds an MA in Contemporary Art Theory (Distinction) from Edinburgh College of Art, where his studies informed an ongoing interest in perception, attention and the conditions through which images are experienced.

He is the winner of the 2026 Sony World Photography Awards, Open Competition, Object category, for his image Colour Divides, and his work has been exhibited internationally. Recent exhibitions include the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh and Old Mill, Belgrade, Serbia. Forthcoming exhibitions include Somerset House, London; Venice Photo Lab; and the Saatchi Gallery, London, as part of Digitalism Vol. 3 at the British Art Fair.

His work has been published internationally, including; in The Guardian (UK), NOICE Magazine (USA), Ephemere (Tokyo), BROAD Magazine (Canada), Woofer Magazine (USA), and SOFT Publishing (Italy), contributing to a growing global presence.

Alongside his photographic practice, Ogilvie has a background in design, having worked as a User Experience (UX) and Product Design specialist. This experience informs a considered approach to composition, sequencing and visual systems, where attention and perception are central.

He actively self publishes artist books and zines, including Intervals: Volume One, Courts, and the Spirit of Place series.

He lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland.
