# Andrew Cotterill Photography
Andrew Cotterill is a London-based portrait photographer with a distinguished focus on music industry imagery. Operating from E15, the studio specialises in capturing authentic, compelling portraits of musicians, bands, actors and public figures, with a particularly strong portfolio in hip-hop, grime and alternative music genres.
The photographer serves record labels, music publications, artists seeking promotional imagery, and entertainment professionals requiring high-quality headshots and performance documentation. Their clientele spans established acts to emerging talent, alongside corporate clients and editorial publications.
What distinguishes Cotterill's work is the depth and specificity of their music photography expertise. Rather than generic portraiture, the portfolio demonstrates intimate knowledge of music culture—evidenced by iconic shoots with artists including Idris Elba, Ian Brown, and extensive live music documentation. The archive reveals consistent ability to capture personality and presence, whether in controlled studio settings or dynamic live environments.
The photographer combines technical proficiency with genuine cultural understanding, producing images that work equally well for album artwork, press features, promotional campaigns and exhibition purposes. The breadth of the portfolio—spanning music portraits, live performance documentation, celebrity work, corporate headshots and travel photography—indicates versatility without diluting specialisation.
The consistent quality across diverse projects and high-profile subjects suggests both technical mastery and established relationships within the music and entertainment industries, making this an ideal choice for serious artists and labels requiring authentic, professionally executed imagery.
