Photographer

Andrew Pearce

Kergunyah South VIC AUSTRALIA

I began film in 2002, at the age of 12 and under the production name of ‘AndyPictures’. Throughout my early high school years I entered any film festivals or competitions I could find, browsing Google and local art brochures. When I reached the senior years of high school I had achieved both National and International success with my film work. As I developed my film skill through feedback and experience, I began to grow a passion for cinematography, and now in 2009, I am as much a photographer as a filmmaker.

Earlier this year I made ‘AndyPictures’ official, by signing it up as a small business that specialises in Film, Photography and Design. I intend to incorporate my passion for music and begin work with music promotion, creating videos and cover artwork for up-coming musicians.

I’m continuously interweaving film and photography techniques, to hopefully create unique and engaging works, which I would like the world to see!
