About Bob DeBris

 

Greets to you, gentle reader, here is the "about page", wherein you will find the answer to that eternal question, "just what is it, that floats your boat, bob debris?” so here goes...                                                                

 I'd have to say there’s a definite attraction to various social groups, to folks totally immersed in their chosen passion We’re talking obsession and exclusivity, all tied up with a curious regalia and theatricality.

The list includes but is not limited to: burlesque performers, Mexican wrestlers, women's roller derby, Christian passion play performers, celebrity impersonators, U.F.O. enthusiasts, historical war re-enactors, circus performers, ventriloquists, furries, anime cosplayers and twins...

Of course on the way to shoot these events there are constant detours: the mobile monuments and doomed theme parks, souvenir shops and funky signage, programmatic architecture, miniature golf courses and folk art installations. It all adds up to tremendous roadside distractions.

I do shoot the occasional portrait, and am hired by event co-ordinators to create tableaus using drops, props and costumes.

I have been exhibiting publicly for over 40 years. My work can be seen in numerous public and private collections in Canada and the USA

If you have an upcoming project I'd love to collaborate with you...get in touch with me using my contact form to discuss rates, scheduling and, whatever blows your skirt up...
