About Andy

 

I am an avid adventurer, conservationist, teacher, and outdoor photographer whose photography celebrates the African landscape and its rich wildlife, people, and culture. My photographic safaris allow my travelers to not only enhance their understanding of photography, lighting, and wildlife, but to develop a life-long admiration for Africa ‘s beauty and culture.

Banana Republic recently used my photographs as the cornerstone of their Urban Safari campaign, and my images were seen in all 750 stores around the globe, as well as in their billboards, catalogs and annual report. I was also the winner of the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year in the ‘Wild Places’ category in 2008 and a highly commended in the ‘Creative Visions of Nature’ category in 2007.

I launched Gura Gear in 2008, in an attempt to deliver lightweight camera bags to the market. I was looking for a lightweight camera bag to hold all of my photographic gear, and there was nothing desirable on the market that suited my needs. After spending 2 years with many prototypes, the Gura Gear Kiboko bag was born. More products are now available on the Gura Gear web site.

Upcoming lectures at Calumet

I have a couple of events coming up at two different Calumet locations. Here are the two events below. Both of the events have fees that Calumet is charging, however I understand these fees are to guarantee that people that have registered will attend. I absolutely love doing these kinds of events, and I hope that if you live in either NYC or in the San Francisco bay area that you will come out and say hello. Oh, and listen to me blab on about digital printing. I spend a ton of time on digital workflow and inkjet output, and hopefully it is something that you are interested in as well.
