Andrew Williams

I have been in love with photography since my first Kodak Brownie 127 camera aged 12, which I still have and I've been taking photographs ever since; although the camera has changed! After many years in corporate engineering and IT, Andrew decided to follow his heart and work as a full time professional photographer and workshop leader.

Since 2006 I have been developing and presenting a range of sell out photographic workshops for clients such as the Royal Horticultural Society, Liverpool University, Cheshire County Council and the Brindley Arts Centre and presented master classes at the last four SWPP conventions.

I'm an avid user of software such as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and write articles on computing and photographic techniques for Advanced Photographer, Photography Monthly and Professional ImageMaker.

My work covers a range of subjects including flower photography, close up and macro subjects and panoramic images. He is passionate about abstract images where the subject is less important than the shapes and textures. A river mud bank becomes a mountain range; decaying petals reveal subtle structures and colours. Just like gazing into the flames in a fire the subject becomes immaterial and imagination takes over.

Starting with a firm belief that everyone has a ‘creative eye’ I get a real buzz from encouraging my customers to discover their own individual view on the world of photography.

I am a Licentiate of the British Professional Photographer’s Association (LBPPA) and the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS).
