Andrew Southam is an Australian photographer who has lived in Sydney, Milan, New York, and now Los Angeles. He began his career photographing the Sydney Theatre Company and the Australian Ballet. His early work has given him a particular affinity for performers and artists of all kinds. He is considered to have taken some of the definitive photographs of Liv Tyler, Gwyneth Paltrow, Natalie Portman, Kevin Spacey, and of the singer Jewel. He has studied screenwriting at UCLA and film at Art Center College of Design. His work has been honoured by the Society of Publication Designers and a Dove award. His portraits have been exhibited in the Australian National Portrait Gallery. Of his own work Andrew has said “I'm moved by the human face. When we see each other, make eye contact, worlds come together. And sometimes in a portrait, if it's successful, there's something of that. We might recognize ourselves or someone we love. Something we aspire to or a dream we have." Mary Kay Schilling, Executive Editor of Entertainment Weekly said of Andrew’s photographs ”I love the positive energy they have. They are always beautifully lit, while still capturing his subjects individuality and spirit. That's a balancing act of psychology and talent that few could pull off." He presently lives in Silverlake with his wife, Tracy, and William, his baby son and favourite subject. PARTIAL CLIENT LIST
