It addresses ways of seeing and is influenced by the practice of nineteenth-century painters and how the camera obscura and early photography shifted thinking on vision.His work reveals connections between the observation of the effect of light and the way an image of a place can be conveyed. The work explores not the representation of a place, but rather an experience and emotional response to the act of seeing. It highlights the disparity between what the observer and the camera can see.The work explores narrative, building a sustained sense of the place from a series of abstract representations. The book form, which is central to Andrew’s practice, enables him to reveal a degree of complexity impossible in the single image.

      Sept 2012 - now
      Founder and Creative Director

      Format Editions create high quality limited-edition books for artists. We believe the content should always inform the design, look and feel of a book and be reflected in its format, layout, typography, binding and finishing. How we beganWe have the dual insight of being artists and designers. When first seeking to publish short-run photobooks we noticed the absence of a genuine quality service. To fill this gap we now apply our extensive experience and knowledge of design, print and binding to offer a quality bespoke publishing service.Specialties: Design, Photography, Creative direction, Binding and Printing Show less
