Biography
Andy completed a Higher National Diploma course in Photographic Technology at Manchester Polytechnic in 1983, which led to a job in a photo lab close to where the Photographer’s Gallery is in London today. He then worked in photographic retail and then for a trade exhibition company in North London, who were good enough to release him one day a week to study for a degree in photography at the Polytechnic of Central London, now the University of Westminster. Andy completed an MA in photography at the University of Brighton, where he developed an interest in photography as a form of therapy - initially for his own benefit, as someone diagnosed with Bipolar, and now hopefully for others with this latest series. In the first instance, however, the current project ‘Family Seat’ was for his wife and her family. It now forms the bulk of his ongoing research.
