Andrea Francolini
Photographer
I’m a Sydney-based photographer with over 20 years behind the lens, specializing in corporate, portrait, event, and sailing photography. Whether it’s a business headshot or a yacht at full speed, I aim to capture the true essence of my subjects.
I also run small photo tours to Pakistan—up to six people, any camera welcome—sharing the beauty of a country I’ve visited every year since 2008. I founded My First School Pakistan, an Australian charity, founded in 2011, which aims to improve schooling conditions in northern Pakistan.
