I'm sorry we lost you on pbase. Truly I am.
djtermoz 30-Oct-2006 14:28
Andy, thanks for comments in my gallery. I really enjoyed looking at your pictures. Especially, that I have no background in portrait photography so this is an entirely new field for me. Impressive pictures. Good work.

What a pbase page! I cannot understand who i diddn't found it earlier.. I'm allready a year in here... Anyway noe it doesn't matter anymore because here i am!

Such an excellent work in here, Specially the people work is something else.
The pp is on that other level that you just cannot accieve without master it.
Tones and color is what i envy for, but without acctually getting there..
But beyond all that is this great tallent you have on making those shot a reallity....

Best Regards, Stefanos Lampridis.
Adrian Reilly 30-Aug-2006 23:08
Welcome back :-) your work would of been a great loss to pbase and amateurs like myself. Inspirational portraits indeed and a pleasure to view
Marijka 30-Aug-2006 14:03

Your work is inspiring. I just found your galleries only to notice they may not be available.--Rene

"I am about to password protect all galleries again now they've had an airing.
All those who have commented since they have been opened again please contact me for pass - all those who didn't, I don't suppose you really care anyway."
Andy...Another thing to consider is those to whom you are a new and very rich discovery.
I am in that category. I only 'found' you and your compelling and wonderful images this
day. I did leave words, then came to your profile page to add you to my favorites. That
is where I found your words.
I would have to believe that people truly interested in photography as an art form would find your images filled with such varied, accomplished skills, creativity and a wellspring of ideas. Be the ideas merely thoughts and speculations of your subjects and/or inspiration to stir us to try new things and fully exercise our artistic license's..grin

Guest 03-Aug-2006 19:59
I just found your galleries on another photographer's favorites list and I must say I am quite impressed! Your portraiture skills are by far the best I've seen in some time. Excellent work. I'm looking forward to your updates now that you're in my favorites list as well.

I comment one of your photos 10 mins ago. Then, I went to see other galleries, and I thought… I know some of these captures. From where??? Who’s the photographer??? Hmmmm… Andy Farrington. The name Isn’t strange for me… Hmmmmm. Ahhhh ;) I know… Practical Photography with impressive portrait work. It’s an honor to share photos in same place of you ;) You are a reference in portrait work. You got here a fan…

Greats

From everyone else's comments it must have been great!
jeromee 21-Apr-2006 01:33
Beautiful images!!! The real question is... Is it enough to just say "WOW" extremely slow.
I love everything about your images.

Tianmou 26-Mar-2006 21:02
good to see your galleries back again andy : )
sebas veldhuisen 21-Mar-2006 21:29
Andy, I have been visiting your galleries many times. And I will keep on doing so. I asked myself today why I never comment your pictures. I think the answer is: they are really breath taking. Most of the times I have no words for it. The light eyes in your portraits are peercing through the screen...Fantastic work! I will try now to find words for them more often. cheers. Sebas
Tianmou 17-Mar-2006 06:28
very nice galleries, but Password is needed now: (
Guest 15-Mar-2006 13:12
Andy - your portraits are great, the grittiness of the adults is balanced by the innocence of the children, you truely have a cool style. I'll swap print for print, great idea. - swk_photoj
Galina Stepanova 07-Mar-2006 15:53
If I will be dismissed from my work, I will blame you, Andy: I opened your galleries for quick look and... spent an hour. Diversity and originality of your portraits are shocking and charming...
Truly amazed and amused,
Galina
petem 06-Mar-2006 18:10
Fantastic style and feel to your photos. Just great. Cheers
Julie Ann Lewis (Lanz) 28-Feb-2006 19:00
I had to laugh about your offer with photo swapping in the "inner forest" section. I would say I want almost all of them! I have nothing to give to you in return. LOL. My photos aren't at your level, but nonetheless I really enjoyed looking at them.
Tianmou 28-Feb-2006 14:42
very nice photos! I saw something about you on last month(that must be you).do you use ring flash to take the portrait?what type of ring flash do you use? I'm planning to buy one which is for micro photography, is taht ok for portrait as well? (because they are not very powerful)
suse 26-Feb-2006 21:25

Wow, what a truly fabulous collection of work. You have such a fantastic and unique style. The portrait work is mesmerizing. I'm off now to hunt down a copy of Practical Photography!
Michelle 23-Feb-2006 18:52
Thanks for your comment, my very first one - I feel privilaged! Your work is astounding, as is Curly's. Both of you have a brilliance of mingling fun and seriousness in your galleries.
Gilles Navet 21-Feb-2006 15:03

I love the way you show emotions and feelings through photography. You tell a story in every picture and that -for me- is a gift. My compliments.

Expressive portrait work, Andy. I love em.

Excellent photos. I like your photo swap idea. Please browse through my gallery and see if anything catches your eye.
whiskey01 17-Feb-2006 20:29
Youre very impressive, both in processing and getting the wonderful emotions from your subject. By just looking at some of your images, I know there is a lot that I can learn and be inspired from.
Dominic Kite 13-Feb-2006 13:52
Andy, you've got simply a superb collection of photos here. Well done you should be extremely proud.

Andy,
I recognised one of your pictures whilst at the bookstall on Waterloo Station this weekend. Another customer was reading the magazine. So I just had to buy that edition of Practical Photography!
The style of your portraiture is so indvidual and I love the hospice series.
Cheers,
Ray

Hi Andy.
As I was previously saying, I love your work. I've chosen some photos of yours I'd like to hang on my walls so you may do the same and contact me to settle the swap.
Best regards,
Lorin
SBPPhotography 29-Jan-2006 11:01
Hi just been browsing through your work again and have noticed the bit about a pic swap i would be more than thrilled to have one of your photos on my wall just not sure if youd feel the same about mine as they are nowhere near the standard of yours! keep up the excellent work!
Becky

Hi Andy, saw your potraits gallery come up under "most popular" on pbase and glad I got the chance to find them. I am originally from the UK and now living in Singapore. You have a fantastic set of portrait shots. I love the high contrast and very raw, gritty feel to many of them. Very powerful. Would be delighted to print swap. I choose your "paul-builder" image. Feel free to browse my galleries. Best rgds, Lawrence
Naomi Sheaffer 08-Jan-2006 01:24
Andy: I am interested in the print swap idea. I love your portrait "Me in Spain", would you like to swap? Your choice.
