Andrew Hudson

Andrew Hudson is a professional photographer and publisher whose work has appeared in 15 photography books. He has photographed assignments for Macy’s, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Men’s Health and Seventeen, and been a location scout for Nikon. His photos and articles have appeared in National Geographic Traveler, Shutterbug Outdoor and Nature photography, Alaska Airlines, Where, and Woman’s World. During a round-the-world trip in 1994, Andrew was frustrated that none of the guide books he’d brought explained where to photograph the exotic beach used in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. He imagined a series of travel guide books designed for photographers. Two years later in 1996, Andrew quit his job and founded PhotoSecrets Publishing. His first PhotoSecrets book won the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best First Book, and his second won the Grand-Prize in the National Self-Published Book Awards. He has also won a Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Coffee-Table/Photography Book, and was a finalist in the Book of the Year awards, photography category. Andrew has a degree in Computer Engineering from Manchester University and a certificate in copyright law from Harvard Law School. Born in Redditch, England, he lives with his wife, two kids, and two chocolate Labs, in San Diego, California.
