Ramon Sammut

Ramon Sammut started with the help of a pro photographer and friend. He started up on primitive digital work in the time when digital was at its infancy. He remembers his first semi-digital output, which in those days was quite peculiar; He used to print on coated transparent film, which produced a hand made digital negative. Prints were produced by a conventional enlarger.

Ramon studied photography on his own and expanded his know-how by tuition in England and the States. Nowadays Ramon earns his living from photographic commercials, tuitions and consultancy. He was one of the first people on the Maltese islands to find a niche market by showing other fellow photographers “ the digital way”. In the past years Ramon gained recognition by showing his unique handling and approach to modern photography; “ I still think analogue but produce everything digital” he babbles!

Ramon’s work is quite unique, his image compositions are very hard to produce, he developed a style which consists of taking consecutive story shots and digitizes the output together to make the final image, hence achieving customers requirements and demands.

Nowadays Ramon has his main office on the island of Malta but he shifts to Britain for most of his work. He works on editing, tuition and photography sometimes bridging out to consultancy and business strategy for newcomers in the digital photographic environment.
Ramon is a senior image editor / photographer with a difference. His effective style and approach made him successful and he is considered one of the best digital image editors in Malta, his speciality is digital monochrome which he mimics the gold old times and flavours it with today’s technology.

His main customers are photographers, trade companies and agencies with the lust to achieve more in today’s competitive digital world. His fluid approach and technically advanced editing created a distinctive style, which standardised his work and made it Ramon’s patent.

Photo Quote: As I became aware that all things have unique spatial and temporal qualities which visually define and relate them, I began to perceive the things I was photographing not as objects but as events. Working to develop my skills of perceiving and symbolizing these event qualities, I discovered the principle of opposites. When, for example, I photographed the smooth, luminous body of a woman behind a dirty cobwebbed window, I found that the qualities of each event were enhanced and the universal forces which they manifested were more powerfully evoked. - Wynn Bullock
