Mandy Left
Portrait and fashion film photographer
Mandy is a London and Leeds-based photographer specialising in film, fashion, and editorial portraiture. With a deep appreciation for classical art, traditions, and cultural narratives, her work blends timeless aesthetics with contemporary storytelling. She is passionate about film photography for its craftsmanship, heritage, and slower, more intentional approach to image-making. Her interests lie in how analogue deepens connections to identity, place, and artistic expression.
Beyond her own photographic practice, Mandy has led multiple community-driven projects that bring people together through film photography. She has been awarded grants to develop projects that explore analogue photography’s cultural significance, using it as a tool to engage communities and create meaningful artistic dialogue. She also runs OnlyFilms, a platform dedicated to sharing film photography with more people and fostering a sense of community around the medium through events, open sessions, and creative exchanges.
