NEIL J TANDY – PHOTOGRAPHER
Photographer, Neil Tandy grew up in England and moved to South Africa at the age of 26, where he spent many years working as an electrical engineer, while indulging his passion for photography when he had a chance.
A business trip to Munich, Germany, in 2005, afforded the opportunity to purchase his first digital camera and since then, photography has evolved into his all consuming passion, to the point of turning professional in 2009.
Neil is one of those rare photographers who is equally comfortable photographing a model shoot one day, a sporting event the next, a nature series the following day, abstract after that or a fine art nude followed by capturing the essence of the people on the streets of New York City or the energy of a live rock show.
“I do not limit myself to one genre of photography, preferring not to be pigeon holed as being limited in what I shoot. I visualize my finished photo before I even take it and I shoot from my heart – I try to capture emotion in everything, beauty and soul”.
Neil currently uses a Canon EOS 5d Mkiii with a variety of lenses and filters, preferring to use a “pre digital era” approach to the way he shoots and limiting his editing to the bare essentials.
He resides on Long Island, NY these days.
