BIO
Maybe it was being an altar boy, or the youngest of 8 siblings, that made Andy intrigued about the many masks we wear.
From working in an investment bank to undertaking a Masters in photography at the London College of Printing, Andy has been able to inhabit different worlds at the same time.
"We're all leads in our own stories, playing out the lives we choose on the stage sets of life” he says. “ I want to quietly and democratically reveal these spaces and faces, un-peeling the layers and seeking out my own sanctuary.”
His work was recognised by the Alexander Turnbull Library in 2020 who collected his Cuba Street Portraits and Love is Understanding series to preserve in the nation's archive.
Andy runs a podcast interviewing New Zealand photographers and supports the One Percent Collective.
His photography is held by private collectors and clients include, Cuba Dupa, WellingtonNZ, BEAM Mobility, The Property Council, Warren and Mahoney, Studio of Pacific Architects, HMOA, NZ Geo, ArchitectureNZ, Scenario NZ, Wordsearch Design Agency, Sectorlight Design, DN&A Design, Archaus, Solari Architects, Aoraki Construction, Mckee Fehl, Great Portland Estates, Architecture Plus, ADP, Sheppard Robson, Architecture Workshop, Canary Wharf, Ecospace, Identity Design, Judi Keith Brown, L'Affare, Local Collective, Patchwork Architecture, Deltalight.
