AURORA 6 (2017) - Limited Edition of 50 Photograph

Andrea Zvadova is a freelance photographer born and raised in Slovakia, now based in London. Her photography focuses on beauty, portrait and still life. Andrea has a special sense for detail and balance in her photography. Her close up studies 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. Andrea has won several awards and gained attention in many competitions. She was the winner of the Portrait of Britain awards for two years in a row in 2017 & 2018, the 1st place Winner in the Body category of Photography Grant 2018, a Royal Photographic Society award 2017 finalist, and the 1st place winner in PDN LOOK’s 2017 Fine Art category. In April 2019 Andrea was a part of the exhibited artists at ‘Month of Photography Los Angeles’. In 2021 Hasselblad selected her to be part of their Hasselblad Heroines. Andrea works with both digital and analogue photography including old alternative photography techniques. She primarily uses 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.
