Hey there! I’m Andy, and my life is a colorful blend of movement, creativity, and pixels. Let me take you on a whirlwind tour through my passions and experiences:
Dance and Design
A Harmonious Blend My journey began with dance and clothes design. The sway of fabrics, the interplay of colors—it all fascinated me. But there was more to explore. Technology became my accomplice, seamlessly merging with my artistic soul. From pirouettes to pixels, I found my rhythm.
From Dance Floors to Photography Studios
Photography entered my life as a necessity—I needed to capture moments for my dance group. But it became a love affair. Performing overseas under the stage lights left me with daytime hours to explore. I devoured knowledge like a hungry artist, learning about composition, lighting, and storytelling.
A Shift in Focus
Initially, I dreamt of becoming an architecture and landscape photographer. But life nudged me toward fashion and product photography. My cozy studio became my creative haven. Flash photography, once intimidating, now fuels my imagination. Shadows dance, highlights sing—I’m in my element.
My Camera:
An Extension of My Soul My camera is my confidant. Whether it’s a bustling city street or a quiet forest trail, I never miss a chance to freeze time. I started with a Nikon D5100—the gateway to my photographic journey. Now, I wield a Sony system, but truth be told, the best camera is the one you have when inspiration strikes.
Software Magic Editing is where the alchemy happens.
Capture One orchestrates my studio work—it’s like a symphony conductor for my images. But I cut my teeth on Lightroom and Photoshop. When heavy retouching calls, Photoshop still reigns supreme. Layers, masks, and a touch of wizardry—it’s my secret sauce.
