Andrea Shkreli (b. 1980, Tirana, Albania) grew up in the cosmopolitan city of Thessaloniki in Greece where he studied photography.
A serious accident left Andrea with a complex physical disability. After a long and painful revalidation, through his photography, Andrea learned to observe, explore and appreciate the world around him in a different way. Since then, photography for Andreas has been a means of communication and discovering and at the same time through his composition, try to find the balance he has lost.
In order to further broaden his knowledge, Andrea studied at the ESP School of Photography and Graphic Design in Thessaloniki, and he continued his studies and graduated his specialisation on photography at the Academy of Arts in Bruges, Belgium.
Attends intensive seminars and lectures by cultural institutes such as photo museums or modern art and so on.
Mainly his projects focused on social issues.
