“The person portrayed and the portrait are two entirely different things.” José Ortega y Gasset, Spanish philosopher and essayist
Andy Barnham is a veteran turned portrait and headshot photographer who lives in Cheltenham on the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, UK.
Andy has been a photographer for almost two decades. Landing on Savile Row, the home of British bespoke menswear after leaving the British Army, he became an editorial jack of all trades covering topics and events such as cars, craft, fashion, food, interiors, and music. The common theme between all of these assignments were the people involved, be it the CEOs, the drivers, the tailors, the models, the chefs or the musicians. In 2019 Andy decided to specialise in portraits and headshots.
Andy offers corporate headshots and portraits as well as brand and lifestyle portraits, suitable for small businesses, and headshots for individuals.
Portrait
A portrait is an image that captures not just the subject but also the environment, such as an office, or other location.
Headshot
A headshot is a tight portrait, of head and shoulders or including the mid-torso, on a neutral or plain background.
