about
| Andrea London’s black and white portraits are heirloom works of art created to last generations. She is part of an increasingly rare and highly sought-after group of photographers who offer hand-crafted silver gelatin prints from film. In a world of instant digital snapshots, she is a purist. Her museum-quality portraits, created one by one on fine paper, preserve a moment in time that would otherwise be gone forever. A sitting with Andrea London is a creative and exciting experience. Her gift is her ability to connect so genuinely with every person she photographs. By enabling a sense of comfort and trust, Andrea celebrates the emotional relationships between her subjects: mother and daughter, father and son, brothers, sisters, partners and pets. Before her camera, each individual feels unique and is unique. The honesty of feeling in each face is unmistakable. Andrea illuminates that place in her subjects that they love most about themselves. Her resulting portraits have been called “authentic, moving, and stunningly beautiful.” Andrea also creates headshot studies, figure studies of pregnant women and others, and author portraits for book jackets. Like her private portraits, these images reveal the emotional essence of her clients. Andrea's stock images are licensed worldwide. |
| I fall in love with every face in front of my camera. The shape of an eye, the curve of a cheekbone, the warmth of a wise smile. And more important is that each face is a gentle mirror of what’s really going on in the heart. Do I love what I do? It’s my reason for being. When I’m making a photograph, time stands still. Nothing exists but my subject...and me. |
