Andrew Wilkinson Photography

Based in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire, UK), where I live with my wife and three daughters, I provide photographic services for weddings, families, events, corporate and commercial organisations located in London, across the UK, and abroad. I have passion and zeal for my for photography and my work has taken me to various interesting and beautiful parts of the world. Fortunately, for me, travel is an important and enjoyable part of my journey (no pun intended); it is not a bind, but one of the necessary 'spice' ingredients of my life.

Working on commissions where people are the subject, is the most privileged form of photography I know. Whether it be a headshot, wedding, travel project, or such, the fundamental requirement to a successful outcome is the relationship that is built in a single moment, or over the course or a period of time. Only then is it that camera becomes the portal through which that relationship is captured. My first recollections of an interest in photography go back to when I was knee-high to a grasshopper! I recall rummaging through a box of black and white photographs and negatives taken by my father, that I'd found in the attic of our house. With the negatives held up to the light I desperately tried to imagine how they would look as a print, where they were taken and who was in them. I would sit for hours dreamily lost in the 'present' of a past world. With the prints that I dug out of the box my fascination was with the shadows; the light; the 'lead-in' and compositional constructs that drew my eye into the image; the drama; the simplicity; pattern; geometry; balance; the curiosity of where, when and who all captured in a split second - telling their stories for ever!
