About Andy Paradise
I have been a professional photographer since the start of 2000 after I'd I left the Kent Institute of Art & Design with a 2:1 BA Hons Degree in 'Editorial and Advertising Photography' the previous year. Since the start of 2000, I primarily worked for the UK broadsheet newspaper 'The Independent' as a staff photographer (winning best Black & White image of 2000 at the 'Picture Editors Awards') but going freelance at the beginning of 2003 but continuing to work for them regularly until 2006. During this time, I went on a wide variety of assignments from portraits of A-list US actors to covering daily news and politics as it unfolded.
Since leaving 'The Independent' I have taken on a variety of other clients aswell as pursuing other areas of the medium such as wedding and fine art photography. The dedication, timing and patience I bring to each assignment ensures I get the best images from a subject and that the 'definitive moment' is always captured.
I now have a wide and confident ability in social documentary, advertising and editorial, commercial, music, portraits, fashion, interiors and travel photography and am happy to discuss any future projects that I may be considered for.
Some of my clients are:
- The Telegraph
- The Independent
- BBC
- BMW
- Societe' General
- Royal Albert Hall
- Variety Club
- RBS

- Abbey Road Studios
