INTERIORS & EXTERIORS AND RESORT PHOTOGRAPHY Apr 2011

Andrew Haslam is an award-winning architectural photographer for many local, national and international clients.

His imagery has a style and quality that captures not just the space but also its character. His passion for composition and lighting provides outstanding images of the highest quality. Having worked with many leading ‘creatives’, Andrew understands that images need to work in any arena.

Ally this with his complete understanding of the most complex print and digital production processes, and it is easy to appreciate why his clients enjoy working with him time and time again. His many years of experience and easy-going nature also help.

Recent projects range from photographing vast master plans and documenting their influence on the public realm, to individual homes and retail properties.

French photographer Bernard Andre graduated with a Masters Degree in Arts from the Sorbonne University in Paris in 1991. He has been shooting assignments worldwide and is now based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Bernard's composition and vision, combined with his lighting and digital photography techniques, render a unique impression of the third dimension lost in this two dimensional medium. His images not only show the scale of architecture, the different textures, the juxtaposition of materials, but they also give the viewer the ability to feel and practically experience the space.

His photographs have appeared in Sunset, Architect and Business Week, advertisements, book covers and annual reports. Bernard has over 400 clients, including Hewlett Packard, Hilton, Sheraton Hotels and Holiday Inn Beijing, and he feels fortunate to have been able to turn his passion for photography into a successful business.
