Gianandrea Traina

Usually going by Gian, I’m a London-based photographer whose work has been featured in international publications, media and advertising including Empire, Planet Rock, Grazia, Mojo and Q.

My journey in photography started when I inherited my grandfather’s old camera – little did I know that this small 35mm would trace the path of my career.

Although my work spreads from portraiture to still life, all of my images find common ground in the approach: it’s not about taking a picture, but making it.

Among my portraits you can find some familiar faces such as Danny Boyle, AJ Tracy, Kiefer Sutherland, Will Poulter, Little Simz, The Specials, The Idles, Dido, RZA, Sheryl Crow and Black Francis to name a few.
