Meredith Andrews

Meredith Andrews (*1976) is a contemporary portrait, travel and lifestyle photographer. Based in Bermuda, she has travelled the globe for clients including Conde Nast Traveller, The New York Times, Levis and the Bermuda Tourism Authority.

Alongside her extensive commercial and editorial work, Meredith’s fine art photography has been exhibited in the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery in London (2009 and 2019), the Portrait of Humanity 2020 and OpenWalls Arles 2020.

 

In 2020 Meredith was recognized by Her Majesty, The Queen, in her annual New Year’s Honours List, in which she was awarded the Queen’s Certificate & Badge of Honour for services to the environment.

 

The IKS PHOTO Collection contains eight works from her series SINGLE PARENTS.

 

Single Parents is a portrait series examining the theme of single parenthood in Bermuda. Following in the historic tradition of 18th century colonial family portraits that as much convey social status and family hierarchy, these images highlight the important role of leading parents. Andrews says of the project: “The two series complement one another, with each opening the dialogue on the construct of the 21st century family.” Also in the context of colonisation by the British Empire.
