JJ Andre has been making excellent fine art figure photographs for over 50 years. Lately, he's traded his Hasselblad for a laptop and a digital camera and has been working on a book of photo montages.
His importance to me is personal, because JJ is single handedly responsible for my own interest figure photography. I first met him in 1995 when I was fresh out of art school and shortly afterwards I began working for the company he founded. His irrepressible enthusiasm and remarkable skill inspired me to turn from the grim industrial landscapes I was doing to nudes. I'm still struggling to get anywhere close to his level, and I probably always will be but I'm just glad he's finally got a web gallery so I can share his work with you.
