ABOUT ANDRÉE ANNA THORPE

Andrée Anna Thorpe is a visual storyteller and landscape photographer whose work is rooted in emotion, atmosphere, and authenticity. Drawn to dramatic light, turbulent weather, and honest human moments, she creates photographs that invite viewers to slow down, feel deeply, and see the world with greater attention. For more than eight years, Andrée worked alongside several internationally renowned photographers, assisting and co-teaching workshops across the globe.

Her journeys have taken her to some of the world’s most remote and inspiring locations, including Kenya, Iceland, Svalbard, Greenland, Antarctica, South Georgia, the Ross Sea, Melanesia, and Madagascar.

In 2016, she launched her own teaching-focused business, dedicating herself to helping photographers strengthen both their technical skills and creative vision.

Andrée’s approach to photography is intuitive and deeply personal. Rather than chasing perfection, she is inspired by mood, movement, and the fleeting drama found in nature and everyday life. Stormy skies, shifting light, and raw environments often become the backdrop for her imagery. Her hope is simple: that others experience the same sense of wonder she feels while creating the work.

Her documentary practice reflects the same commitment to honesty and human connection. Through her ongoing Thousand Islands Farm project, Andrée documents the lives of local farmers, highlighting the resilience, dedication, and importance of agricultural communities. Her fine-art storytelling project, Jesse, explores addiction, survival, and unconventional resilience through a compassionate, deeply human visual narrative.

Andrée’s work has received international recognition. In 2012, she received the prestigious PDN World in Focus award.

Her book, JESSE, has since earned multiple international honours, including:

Bronze Winner — Paris Photography Prize (PX3), Book/Documentary Professional

Silver Winner — Budapest International Foto Awards, Book/Documentary

Bronze Winner — Tokyo International Foto Awards, Book/Documentary

Honourable Mention — Pollux Awards, Documentary & Reportage, Barcelona Foto Biennale

Honourable Mention — Refocus Awards, Professional Photojournalism

Honourable Mention — International Photography Awards (IPA), Professional Self-Published Book

Whether leading workshops, documenting rural communities, or creating fine art narratives, Andrée remains passionate about inspiring others to observe more closely, connect more deeply, and tell meaningful stories through photography.
