Born in the north suburbs of Chicago, Andrea Mandel cannot remember a time when she didn’t feel most at home behind a camera. It was this passion that led her to study and graduate with a degree in photography from Syracuse’s acclaimed Newhouse School. This experience confirmed that photography would be her life’s work and would also take her back home to Chicago to pursue her career as a professional photographer.

Andrea specialises in shooting people, and it is the unique relationships she captures between people that interests her most. With years of professional experience, she travels frequently for work, with clients ranging from Huggies to Purina.

When Andrea isn’t taking pictures for work, she is probably taking photos for pleasure, or biking around the globe.
