ndrew Waller – a photographer with a great eye and a true passion for what he does. Waller first became interested in photography because some of the kids he hung out with when he was younger were into it. He decided to give it a whirl, and discovered that he really liked it. Waller states that the majority of his experience in photography came from his own exposure, and help from other photographers. “My father taught me a lot, I also went to college for a bit but it didn’t work out. Overall I think I mostly learned from experience and other photographers that have helped me along the way,” says Waller. He describes his style as “guana.”

His favorite part about concert photography is the energy and excitement and being so close to the action, “you really have the best seat in the house.” Waller truly loves what he does. Even though there may be some drawbacks to being a photographer, he refuses to even recognize them. “I think I have the best job in the world,” says Waller, “the downs are cancelled out simply because I’m enjoying myself too much to worry about them.” He also admits that he enjoys shooting just about anything, encompassing a vast variety of subjects. “Only a few things I wouldn’t shoot, and those are babies being born,” he tells us.
