Andrew King taking Photography to a whole new level!

Andrew King was born and raised by a free-spirited hippie, a logical engineer, a militant master of the English language, and a bossy sister.

“I’m a lover of cameras, travel, culture, pho,classic pinups, classic motorcycles, swing & blues music, unsweetened-iced-tea

and all type of expressions.” Continuing, “I am a teacher, competitor, and fanatic of lindy hop…” Andrew King has been working in photography

for over 15 years.

 1-Did your early photographic goals include earning a living from photography, or did it start as a way to express yourself creatively?
Photography was always a hobby as I was originally a 3D Animator/Graphics designer.. that moved over to Video Production.. then 6 months
ago quit it all and settled into still photography only. They are all related and I pull from each skill set I  have to create a final product. My
graphic skills helped in photo post production, video production skills helped with interaction and directing models.

2- Which one item of equipment would you say is the most important to you?
My brain.  :)  We all know that photo gear are just tools to accomplish a final product.  I believe a skilled artist should be able to use multiple
mediums. Granted certain tools make it easier than others… but we are in an age where multiple skill sets are invaluable.

3- How do you describe your photographic style?
I’d like to say adaptable.  When I’m shooting for myself and not a commissioned work, I don’t want to pigeonhole a style; It’s really symbiotic to
mood, the model’s contributions, environment, etc.

4-What kind of equipment do you use?

I’ve got it all.  From “toy” cameras to medium format- I’ll use it all.


5-Who are your influences?
Gosh, I literally am influenced every day!  There are so many great photographers out there now a days that can get their work on the internet.
 I have so many influences by genres, but if my arm were twisted to name a name… 5 words… British fashion photographer John French!
 He was just pure classic, clean, inventive, his shooting was flawless and killer… and I’m jealous of that era of shooters!
6-What projects are you currently working on?

Right now I’ve started a project working title called White- It’s my own exploration of shooting over exposed images.

7-What kind of impression do you hope to leave upon other’s who see your photographs?

Open up your world to a variety of influences and expand your horizons!


8-Are there any photographers who you admire? If so, who are they?

The only photographers I admire are the ones that get inspired and chase that inspiration to its completion, only to head to the next one!


9-Will you ever feel like your work is completed?

HAHAHA…….umm… nope!


10-Define your photography in one sentence.
Improvisational photography….
