I am a 20 something photographer from Tampa, FL. I got my first SLR when I was 19 (took my very first artistically purposed photo on a family vacation in Maine) and have been in love with photography ever since.

My parents have owned a high volume photography business as long as I've been alive, but I guess it took me a little while to decide I was into it! My job is high volume school and sports portraiture. But, as you can see... my passion is more along the lines of scenic, high dynamic range, still life, high speed, long exposure, fine art, black and white, technical, creative or imaginative photography.

For the longest time, I found myself frustrated that I couldn't seem to settle on just one type of photography to really focus on. Now, I see the personal benefit of learning and practicing wide ranges of photography. A relatively unified style and artistic vision can apply regardless of the genre... (broad or focused) Concepts from still life photography benefit the portrait photographer and there are many concepts from modern portraiture which can easily benefit the scenic photographer.

When not behind the camera, I can usually be found processing my newest images... I'm hugely into good sushi and clinically addicted to Toffee Nut Lattes from Starbucks. I absolutely LOVE to travel and seem to be an undying fan of all things Apple. (Sorry PC) I've been told my images contain eye catching creativity and unforgettable technical detail. And, I try very hard every single time a camera is in my hand, to make that statement true!

Best Regards,

Andrew.
