New Artist Fair Feature - Sandra Jordan



These fan-blooming-tastic photographs are by Sandra Jordan, whose two greatest passions in life are travel and photography. She bought her first camera in her late teens from the local paper, £50 with three lenses, and from then on she was officially hooked.

Sandra's day job for the past 15 years has been working in production in the film industry (ah the dreaded yet necessary day job!) but her passion for photography has never died. She's been lucky enough to work with some of the film industry’s best cinematographers who have helped her with tips along the way and also kept her enthusiasm for the medium alive, translating their advice and techniques into stills photography.

From a very early age Sandra traveled around the world with her family, sparking a huge interest for her in foreign countries and foreign cultures, and in 2007 a three-month train trip from London To Turkey re-awakened her love of travel photography.

Sandra likes simple photographs, line, texture, and form and, although she enjoys shooting colour, she is often more drawn to black and white. Photography enables her to, for short periods of time, immerse herself in different cultures. It has made her more aware of my surroundings and allows her to view the world and the people in it in a different way.
