Andy Silvester Photography

I’m Andy Silvester — a Louth-based portrait photographer with more than three decades of experience specialising in portraiture, fine art and expressive studio work. My passion is making memorable images that reveal character and emotion: body and soul, captured through the lens. Over the years I’ve combined documentary instincts with a creative, fine-art sensibility to produce portraits that feel honest, dramatic and individual. My background spans news reportage and commissioned public information shoots to award-winning fine-art projects. That breadth of experience gives me an instinctive eye for lighting, composition and the decisive moment — skills I bring to every portrait session. I aim to be discreet and professional, creating an atmosphere where people relax and the true self emerges. As I often say, it’s more important to click with people than to click the shutter. In the studio and on location around Lincolnshire I work with each client to design a session that suits their personality and purpose. Whether you want a moody, fine-art portrait, an intimate black-and-white study, or a clear, confident headshot for professional use, my approach is conversational and tailored. I give simple direction, use flattering light and composition, and look for the subtle gestures and expressions that make a portrait sing. Portraiture is my core specialism, and I treat every shoot as a creative collaboration. I also offer professional business portraits and headshots for LinkedIn profiles, company sites and promotional use — handled with the same attention to mood and detail but with a focus on clarity and presence. Clients choose me because I bring reliability, technical craft and a creative eye to every brief. Many return for further commissions because they trust the way I find authenticity in front of the camera and deliver strong, usable images. Based in Louth, I’m happy to work across Lincolnshire and beyond for studio or location sessions.
