ABOUT Andy
I started taking photos in high school when I signed up for photography class in year nine. It was the perfect class, with a camera slung over my shoulder I could get out of the classroom and play around with my friends in the schoolyard. I quickly became enthralled with photography, the first art genre I was half good at. It allowed me to be outside and explore, to express myself, to capture fleeting moments and objects of interest on film.
The following year I broke school policy and signed up for photography classes again. Since then I’ve never really stopped taking photos and exploring the outdoors. After graduating with a photography degree from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia I travelled and sailed around the world. I worked in Melbourne for a period as a photographer’s assistant but yearned for some adventure and to see the big wide world. I signed up as a photographer working on a cruise ship that took me around the Caribbean exploring exotic locations in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Mexico and beyond for 14 months. I then travelled to Japan, around the US and all through Australia, backpacked most of India, parts of Thailand and enjoyed 6 months in and around the Mediterranean.
Now, at the age of 27 I find myself living in New York City with my wife…
