ANDY GRAVES

Andy grew up in England and developed the travel bug early in life during family camping holidays to France.

........ it’s about being passionate about your work

His passion for photography was a marvelous complement to the wanderlust that took Andy on his travels throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East, Far East and Australia.

His photographic skills speak for themselves, but there is more to Andy Graves than the person who holds the camera.

Andy holds a Bachelor Degree in Science and is a qualified instructor in Scuba Diving, Exercise to Music, Aqua Aerobics and Aerobics.

....... it’s also about understanding people and how they feel

Andy specializes in location work, including executive and family portraiture, corporate events, advertising, weddings and even underwater photography. Much of his commercial and corporate work is directed towards publication.

But above all, Andy’s experiences in training and development, and management consulting, have given him a keen interest in human movement and people management. Andy has developed those special skills you expect to find in a professional photographer charged with managing the myriad of events that can, and do, occur on a typical wedding day or during an important corporate function.

For Andy, understanding people and anticipating their special moments creates opportunities to capture their true feelings and the excitement of the day.

As Andy says “Essence of Time Photography is, first and foremost, a people business.”

....... and it’s about being the best

Andy was a finalist in the Lord Mayor’s photographic awards in 2001, and Winner of the Agfa ‘Once in a Lifetime’ competition in 2000.

Recently Andy has had articles published in Practical Photography and Black and White Photography.

Andy was awarded the Licentiate of the British Institute of Professional Photography (LBIPP) in 2003.
