Andrew is a toy photographer and video editor based in Medford, NY. At an early age, he was drawn to the creative arts of film and photography.
His art, Toy MiniNatures embarks on an imaginative journey that deeply explores the relationship between the natural world and the enchanting realm of toys in real time.
Photography has been his creative outlet to explore these scenarios from the imagination and the setting is almost always outdoors. Aiming to tell a ‘toy story’ in every one of his shots and convey immersion through their interactions with nature.
The artistic vision for Toy MiniNatures is heavily influenced by world-building storytelling techniques of J.R.R Tolkien, Hayao Miyazaki, Jim Henson, and Phil Tippett.
The equipment of choice includes a Canon EOS 90D DSLR with 300mm lens mounted on a Manfrotto tripod, equipped with a Ziploc bag of bird seeds and acorns, along with whatever accessories these figures need to greet our feathered/furry friends!
