shamelessly self-centered

I'm a freelance photographer based in Manchester, UK

I come from Oporto, Portugal. For 8 years I lived and worked in Barcelona, Spain.

My passion for photography began in 1994, when I was 20 and studying Film Directing at University. After finishing my degree I realize that film implied a crowd to work with, while as a photographer I could rely on my own and work alone.

I always try to keep things as simple as possible, leaving the main subject to emerge on its own.
My choice for black and white is based alone on my colour blindness, in monochrome I see with what I'm dealing and can better control my work.

I focus mainly on street photography, which allows me to be an spectator, on the outside, with no influence whatsoever in the scene captured. Post-production allows me to make mine a moment that wasn't in the first place.

Apart from street photography, I'm becoming more and more interested in portraiture, in my own studio or on location.

This is a good place to start if you're interested to see some of my work.

I'm available for commissioned work and always willing to show my work in solo or collective exhibitions.

I don't collect Flickr contacts. I follow fellow photographers whose work inspire me in many different ways.
If you add me as a contact, comment on at least one of my photos, so that I can have an idea why you wanted to follow me.

A big part of my body of work consist of street portraits/scenes, done with the utmost respect for those in my images. If for any reason, someone represented here doesn't feel comfortable with his/her picture being online, please just send an e-mail telling so.

Thank you.

    "The main difference with other pictures is that these ones have their own soul.

    I can feel passion, intention and love for art in each one.

    When I look at his pictures, I am immediately transported to the set: literally I enter into it and I believe, I feel, I wish to live what he tried to express at that time.

    Great person, great artist, excellent and meticulous observer."

    "When I visit Andre's stream, I feel a certain magic, I feel poetry, I feel life. Watching his art, his documentation
    is a feeling of understanding, is learning to go deeper, to stay... to see...
    not to rush, not to run...
    taking time to show my respect....

    watching your pictures, I feel the following words

    “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
    Aaron Siskind

    Thank you for your sharing your wonderful art.

    Maria"

    "when you feel cold, open one of his photography.
    you will soon find yourself warmed up.

    when you feel yourself stuck in a wall, open another piece of his photography.
    its infinite depth will take you to a space where you will find a good breakthrough in your thought.

    when you find your daily life monotoned, consult his street photography.
    your eyes will be more open to find out so many inspirations in your town.

    when you miss your home, explore his travel photography.
    you will come across with a number of beautiful scenes with splendid mood of nostalgia.

    life is beautiful. our world is full of stories which can never be repeated.
    sometimes we forget that and get lost into the faceless life.
    i am with no special knowledge of photography,
    but surely i can tell that Andre's world of art has something precious and unique to enhance what photography can make for our life."

    Howard 'H' Pimborough says:

    "When you view the thousands of images through the endless pages, and endless photographers on flickr, there are a few talented individuals who catch your eye, through their composition, technical prowess or imagination (or a combination of all). Andre Delhaye is one of those talented photographers. His work captures the urban landscape of endless faces, expressions and minor events that make up the maelstrom of people living closely together. His work makes you wonder of the life stories of the individuals he captures. There is also a subtle sense of humour in many of his pictures, which can bring about a wry smile in the viewer. He is one of many, but he stands out as one of the few."
