About Andrea

With 20+ years of professional photography experience, I am an artist passionate about people, technique, and technology. I strive to bring out beauty and help people feel confident by expressing themselves authentically. Technology is my tool to achieve this. My goal is to merge these three elements into an exceptional experience. I want my clients to feel good, whether they are in front of my camera or beside me. And of course, I want them to have photos as fantastic as the experience, photos that meet their needs, solve problems, and bring incredible value.

As a people lover, I thrive on photographing portraits. Easily building rapport, I make people comfortable in front of the camera and guide them to explore self-expression effortlessly. This quality also allows me to photograph events and capture key moments.

When I'm not photographing people, I apply the same sensitivity to the subject. Keeping the client's needs in mind, I carefully manipulate light, composition, and angle to reveal the best of my subject, whether it's a product, a space, a dish, a location, or an activity. The challenge of finding the best way to represent a subject is a significant motivator and a process I truly enjoy.

With a background in art history, humanities, and fine arts, as well as nine years of experience in production coordination and editing in the film industry, I bring a unique blend of skills to every project.

I have an exceptional interest in performing arts, such as music, dance, and theater, and my camera is very happy to be directed towards bright lights or towards the people who inhabit them.
