About – Andrew Blackmore Photography

I am a mixed genre Fujifilm and 35mm photographer based in the UK on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.

Since my parents gave me my first camera (a Kodac Instamatic) around the age of 10, I have always felt a strong connection and harmony with my environment when my camera is in hand.

The ethos behind my photography is simply attempting to capture the essence, the mood of a scene. I try to avoid the obvious and look for the synchronicity of a shot with the moment at hand.

Documentary, landscape, reportage and street are my primary areas of focus, often with characters to add context and emphasise in a scene. Rather than pursuing one particular subject, I am a strong believer that diversity makes for interesting content.

I use fixed focal length lenses as they allow me to compose scenes more consciously - producing images that have some narrative.

I spent some of my formative years working with the eminent Homes & Interiors photographer Peter Woloszynski, learning the art of composition (as well as loading his Hasselblads) on client shoots.

Following this, I spent a short but invaluable time at Battersea Park Studios with the renowned advertising and editorial photographer Ray Massey.

I regularly undertake commissions and my photography has been chosen for publications both here in the UK and overseas, as well as being featured on TV. I have also been assigned as the stills photographer for events and film.
