Andy Batt Studio

Photographing people is incredibly difficult in so many ways. People don't stay still, they have many facial expressions (some of which are not very photogenic), and most people have their own idea of how they want to look in the final picture. Despite all of these obstacles, photographing people can be the most satisfying experience in a photographer's career.

While meandering through a Google search for "people photography" I found a website for a company called Andy Batt Studio. Andy is the photographer for the company and he has worked with over 35 clients such as Dell, Adidas, Nike and Levis . His company specializes in taking pictures of people in a variety of settings. They have portfolios dedicated to sports, dance and music which took my breath away.

The first portfolio has a plethora of sports shots. Many of these pictures are taken at the climax of every game, showing off the incredible skill of these athletes. The camera angle in each photo is positioned perfectly to capture the subjects achieving the unbelievable.







The dance photos shows the immense strength needed to become a professional dancer. These images really explain to the viewer the balance between strength and elegance. The lighting being used gives a"spot light" ambiance, as if the viewer got VIP seating on the stage with the dancers during a performance. They are truly beautiful.








Lastly are the images that are taken for the music industry. All of the pictures are of the band members, doing whatever they feel like to express themselves. Although many of the pictures are taken in the same place, Andy has still captured the uniqueness of every individual by changing the lighting or the angle of the camera. These seeming small changes impact an image significantly.












Andy Batt Studio is truly an amazing company with hundreds of stunning images. These photos are inspirational and they demonstrate how photography is truly an art form unlike any other.
