I am Photographer André Felix, my first recorded photo that I remember taking was in May 1964. Sometime after that I started to take more photograph’s and as I was only nine at the time had to use any camera I could get my hands on. I was always the guy that had a camera when we went on a school outing or just off to the seaside with my family. In high school in the UK, I signed on for a darkroom & photography class where I could find out the basic’s on how to take photograph’s plus develop the film and then make prints of the images. In those days, it was very expensive to have all the photography equipment to develop film and to do it yourself at home. I graduated from Sandown Court Collage England, After that I served an apprentice for three years to study hairdressing and at the same time I became a colorist though L’oral. When I had finished all my three years I gradated and was given the title of Mr. It’s part of the English hairdressing tradition, from then on I was known as Mr. André. I was now working as a hairdresser because my dad did not think that photography was a real job. Some time later My family moved to the USA (1975) to live the American dream. It took the best part of a year to make that happen and we were interviewed many times and had to have a sponsor which was my mother’s brother who was a PGA golf pro in California before we were allowed in the the USA.
