Andrea Hausmann

Before opening her studio, Andrea Hausmann studied fashion communications, design and photography.

Her early work in portraiture was inspired by the vintage aesthetic of her favourite films. With local burlesque performers as muses she created a richer, more multi-faceted expression of sexuality than that found in most magazines.

Today, Andrea’s intimate portraiture is both timeless and distinctive. In the privacy of her studio she maintains the client’s comfort level and is better able to achieve their desired outcomes. The luxury and comfort of the photo shoot experience is especially important, as she wants to make people feel just as great as they look. Andrea loves the transformation she sees the women go through and the confidence they express after just a short time at the studio.

Andrea continues to expand her artistic boundaries through collaboration with innovative professionals including hair stylists, make-up artists, body artists and stylists, as well as local and international performers.
