About Andrew Foster

Andrew Foster (b. 1986) is a photographer born in Vermont and spent his developing years living in Maine. He studied photography at the New England School of Communication in Bangor, ME (now Husson University). After graduating with a B.A., he has worked as a freelance photographer nationally and internationally for almost two decades; focusing mainly on Editorial and Commercial work in New England. Andrew is skilled in both natural and artificial studio lit lighting. He shoots with film and digital, primarily shooting medium/large format. He has been published in a variety of print and online magazines and media and is stock photographer for Caravan Images.

Andrew found a passion for photography at a young age. He spent his younger years at his Aunt's photography studio in Vermont. He would drink coffee out on the balcony over the river and assist her with studio lighting or changing the sets. As a teenager in Maine, he fell in love with cinema and at first wanted to attend school to become a cinematographer. He quickly learned that the single image was what he loved most and began to blend his obsession with both together. His work is rooted in the deeply personal. It studies fleeting moments in poetic form, loosely connected to his past, with connections to his present. It tends to feel nostalgic, a discovery of self as a whole - the good, bad, and unresolved.
