Who is redManhattan?

Hi, my name is Andy Beeson-Brackstone, and I am an artist, photographer/videographer based in Dorset, UK. 

I value photographs above anything else in the world for the extraordinary role that they play in providing us with fond memories to look back on. If you ended up relocating to the other side of the world, your favourite photographs would most likely travel with you above anything else. Whether a photo is a nostalgic old school photograph, a cheesy family portrait, your favourite selfie with your best friend on a special occasion, or one of those ghastly images that makes you wince in recoil, every single one of these photos leaves lasting footprints in our lives. And through these photographs, we can relive each moment again and again, remembering how we felt and who was involved.

This is why I am so passionate about photography, and why I think that photography is one of the most valuable things in the world. First and foremost, I am a creative photographer and I love capturing beautiful, sometimes quirky images using natural light, composition, and emotion. I am skilled at using my cameras and utilise my techniques accordingly to create the effect that feels most natural in the moment. I love being on my feet with cameras most of all, where I make the most of the natural light that is available to me. But I also love creating imagery using my speed-lights, which also leads to impressive results. 

Every photographer has their own very unique style that you will either “connect” with or not. Very much like the first impressions that we form when we meet new people for the first time, the same also applies to photography - you will know instantly whether you like the photographer’s style or not. If you feel like you connect with my style of photography, then by all means, please contact me. I would love to work with you!
