The Human Behind The Camera
I am Andrea…
The heart and mind behind Cornwall Portrait Photography
How I got here…
“Life brought me to professional photography almost by accident as, before then, my working life orbited around different technical and customer service roles”
About Me
I didn’t grow up with a camera permanently in hand, and that whole story feels too tidy anyway!
Everything began to change when a Polaroid gifted in my teens rewrote the plot: sudden, delightful, and a bit magical.
My defining early memory? Learning about light and shadows through my cousin’s proper film camera on a beach, then watching those surfer shots emerge in the darkroom.
The way the images revealed themselves felt like witnessing magic!!!
At collegeI fell truly, deeply, in love with the tactile, methodical, film-based craft of photography.
It was delightfully “back to front,” learning through film and darkroom before ever touching a digital camera. It grounded me technically, emotionally, and creatively.
From then on, everything I do has been guided by three steadfast values:
Integrity.
A Passion for Creating.
Building Relationships.
Your Portrait Experience
It will be much more than just a photo session. It’s a day, and an experience, crafted with intention:
Refined & Honest. Every interaction is rooted in authenticity, from tone to delivery.
Warm & Enthusiastic. I bring energy and dedication that infuse you, your photos, and our time together.
Made for You. I’m here personally: no middlemen, no distance. Just a patient, empowering space designed around you.
Because Here’s the Truth
Your portrait should feel like you, only amplified.
Stronger. Proud. Magnetic.
That’s what great photography does: it doesn’t just reflect who you are; it helps you see it in yourself.
When you step in front of my lens, it’s not just about capturing a moment: it’s about revealing your power, your essence, and your story. Let’s make it unforgettable!
My Values
-
Integrity
Acting with integrity to me means always being honest and ethical.
It means acting with complete transparency in all my dealings with clients, suppliers, and everyone I meet!
-
A Passion For Creating
So many people have described me as “passionate” about my work.
I believe that my love for what I do and for serving my clients with enthusiasm, honesty, and dedication, comes through in the way I engage with everyone, and in everything I do.
-
Building Relationships
Building lasting, positive, and constructive relationships with my clients is central to my values, and something I care about, deeply.
This is why I never outsource any of my work, and take responsibility for the delivery of my services from your first enquiry to handing over your images and products.
“Andrea has the ability to make you feel so comfortable and she most definitely found my wicked streak, although she may not have had to look very far!”
