About

Andrew Hobbs (b. 1967) is a British photographer based in Somerset. He spent his formative years at the progressive Dartington Hall School where his interest in photography began. Hobbs has had a colourful career including stints as a bin man and a long distance lorry driver and ending up as an IT manager at Somerset County Council. To rediscover photography has been a return to his creative roots. Hobbs is a quintessential Somerset boy and this is reflected in his strong affinity for the landscape around him. He has been influenced by the apparent simplicity of photographers like Edwin Smith and Fay Godwin. There is a timelessness about Hobbs's photographs that go beyond mere documentation and captures the heart of the English landscape.
