Hey!  I'm Andrew.

I'm an animal photographer best known for my captivating images of felines.  My photography depicts the lives of celebrity cats, shelter cats, and house cats with intimate detail.  I reach thousands of cat lovers through my social media (Instagram: @iamthecatphotographer) where I document my travels promoting shelters across the country, taking photos for clients, and snuggling my cat, Haroun.

I started my somewhat bizarre career path a few years ago by taking photos of my cat for fun.  I graduated with a degree in neuroscience, but took a decidedly unexpected career path when my social media took off as I was finishing school.  In the years since making that decision, my photos have been seen by millions.  I've been featured in hundreds of publications, articles, and galleries.  I was the photographer for the book that was released in November 2016 entitled "Shop Cats of New York". 

While I used to be terribly allergic to cats, I now live with my girlfriend, our three cats, and a slew of rotating foster kittens in San Diego.

My style incorporates facets of portraiture, anthropomorphization, and macro photography. My atypical skillset and approach succeeds in capturing the unique personality of each animal.
