Andre Silva has been photographing in and around water for years, working with big-wave surfers in challenging conditions off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland, the bitterly cold waters of the Arctic, and the picture-perfect Mediterranean Sea.

With a background in surfing and armed with a wealth of experience and the right equipment, no project is too complex.

Maintaining his trademark style, using both natural and artificial light (flash and continuous), Andre is able to give his images a strong, realistic look.

Recent clients include Beats by Dre, RNLI, Red Bull and Mazda.

"I'm a London based photographer, shooting a mix of sports, lifestyle and landscapes. I was born in Portugal and have always been fascinated by the ocean - I'm currently in the process of getting to know more of the UK's beautiful, rugged coastline.

My skill set allows me to work in the most challenging of conditions, from shooting surfers in the Arctic Circle to elite athletes on the track, or pensioners in a swimming pool.

My client list is diverse and includes Mazda, Red Bull, Mercedes-Benz, Ernst & Young, Penguin and Outside Magazine."
