Andrew Smurthwaite
I am a Final year student of BA Hons Photography course at Cleveland College of art and design. My work has mainly been based on portraits and documentaries, I like to catch a look or a sense of drama, I like my work to create a mood and have often used additional lighting to strengthen this notion. I feel my latest work is becoming more than just an image and has more of a filmic feel. My final work is based around the casino world and the customers, being an ex-croupier myself this gives me great insight and a point of view to work with. A poker competition is the focus in this series; I have tried to give the viewer a little insight into the characters and sometimes surreal environment, which remains undiscovered by many of the public.
