Andrew Parsons is an award-winning photojournalist who is best known for his political work. He has been documenting the British Prime Minister since 2005, from David Cameron’s bid to become leader of the Conservative Party through to victory in the bitterly contested General Election of 2010, including exclusive access behind the scenes to document the historic coalition talks.
Andrew began at the Cambridge Evening News from where he moved to the Times of London and covered international news, features, fashion and sport. He joined the the UK’s national news agency, the Press Association, in 2001 and later spent 18 months based in the Middle East where he covered features on Israel’s 60th anniversary as well as the rise and collapse of the Dubai economy.
Andrew is a respected war photographer and has worked in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and Bosnia. His photographs capturing the moment a regiment was ambushed by the Taliban in 2007 were the first images of life-threatening injuries to British soldiers to come out of Afghanistan and led to his winning of the War Photographer of the Year award in the prestigious PX3 Prix De La Photographie.
