SHADOWS – Andrew Haydon Photography – 14th until 20th June 2024
SHADOWS – An exhibition by Andrew Haydon
With this collection Andrew has drawn on the splendour of landscapes and the beauty that is ever present in the natural world. He has tried to reflect the many moods they can express and their timeless elegance, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in these images, to pause and contemplate.
Through the interplay of light and shadow he aims to evoke a sense of contemplation throwing part of his soul and mood into the composition, so it is reflected back through the lens to the image.
In 2018 Andrew moved to a village near Bridport in West Dorset where he focused on the abundant wildlife and stunning landscapes that Dorset has to offer. Developing his own style, he enjoys harnessing Dorset’s wonderful light and particularly how it can be interpreted in black and white photography.
More about Andrew Haydon
After an eighteen-year career in the entertainment business in artist management, Andrew spent ten years working with the creator of Bob the Builder, producing and monetising children’s television projects including Fifi and the Flowertots, Roary the Racing Car and Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, which taught him the significance of capturing the viewers’ attention and framing carefully considered compositions.
Andrew and his wife moved to West Sussex in 2015 where he turned his attention to his lifelong passion for photography. This started as a child, developing film in his mum and dad’s darkened bathroom and continuing with a strong interest in wildlife, landscape and water sports photography. He was first published in 2016.
