From there, he went on to study it at Princeton University before launching his career.
Since then, Andrew has traveled the world capturing it through the lens of his camera. His work is displayed in permanent museum collections around the globe and has been featured in major publications like National Geographic, The New York Times, and The New Yorker. He also won TIME Magazine’s Picture of the Year Award in 2010. He has published eight photography books and made a documentary feature film titled How to Draw a Bunny.
