Andrea Zvadova is a freelance photographer born and raised in Slovakia, now based in London. Her photography focuses on beauty, portrait and fine art.

Andrea has a special sense for detail and balance in her photography.
Her close up study of human features transform skin and hair into abstract landscapes and imaginary worlds.
Andrea’s work marries great sensitivity and minimalism. She celebrates unusual beauty, diversity and uniqueness opposed to the standard perceptions of beauty.

She has an ongoing project called ‘Pigment’, a series of portraits of people who were born with albinism. Pigment has received significant attention and won several awards.

Andrea works with both digital and analogue photography including old alternative photography techniques. After collaborating with Phase One she has started primarily using medium format cameras for her studio work.
In her floral series she focuses on the use of colours, and creates a photographic hyper-colour space in which dreaming and imagination are a leading link to escape the narrative of the predictable.
The series PARALLELS represent that world - the perfect world of dreams. It also represents the comparison of the real and the potential, the dream and the blurred lines in between these worlds.
She has been creating warped, abstracted images of floral still lives. Each image has been created with practical effects in camera without any further manipulation.
Her aim is to create imagery that encourages a viewer stop and explore, dissect and analyse.
