I recently collaborated with Andrew, who brought his clear vision to a recent photoshoot. Photographing architecture can sometimes be a lonely process. Having a second creative pair of eyes seeing the same way my own, picking up on the tiniest details, was a refreshing experience. It made the day so much easier and more enjoyable, taking the shoot to the next level.

The best shoots are the result of collaboration, and Andrew always has a clear vision for each brief and shoot. As a photographer I find his creative input and direction invaluable. Moreover, the pre- planning Andrew does on styling, flowers and accessories, and then his styling to camera makes all the difference to shots, often elevating them from good to brilliant.
Lastly he is empathetic and great fun to work with.

I have known Andrew Wakem for several years, in his role as PR for various architectural practices, and have always looked forward to our meetings. During that time, I have found him to be, not only enthusiastic and full of ideas, but also, and perhaps more importantly, someone who follows up immediately with the photographs, contacts and timings he promises.

I’ve worked with Andrew on many shoots, architectural, interior and people, and he always brings an incredible creative vision to the table. He’s a pro when it comes to art direction and really knows how to connect with clients to bring their ideas to life. Andrew keeps everything running smoothly and makes the whole process feel effortless. Always a pleasure to work with him.

Andrew is easily one of my favourite personalities to work with. Whilst being considered and professional, he always brings spark and passion to his work, and I can always rely on him to deliver – whether as a panellist on stage or providing content and connection from the industry. His knowledge of design and understanding of the principles and practicalities that take a concept through to complete project is exceptional.
Demonstrating his skills in this area, last year Andrew stepped in for a designer on a panel discussion and was able to talk the audience through material selection and the smallest design details of a project. He then went on to explain the concept, the artistry that accompanied the overall aesthetic, and how the team engaged and then collaborated with a number of external partners. Andrew is more than a safe pair of hands, he cares deeply about his work – and handles every situation with added style and panache!

From the perspective of a photographer, Andrew is wonderful to work with. He’s detail oriented and supportive when planning shoots to ensure we iron out all the variables needed before arriving on-site, and he’s equally helpful during shoots too, knowing exactly what he wants while also giving creative freedom to the photographer to explore ideas.
A pleasure to collaborate with.
