From: Kent, UK
Background:
Andy's career has always been underpinned with creativity, all the way back to art, design and graphics at school until he launched his business Spaceman Creative Studio almost 10 years ago. Wildlife photography is an extension of that desire to keep his brain moving and inspired. He likes to add a bit of flair to his work and being from Kent, often shooting pictures of everyday animals it comes in very handy when trying to stand out! That need to create and do something a little different, coupled with his love of the great outdoors has also manifested itself in producing designs such as the "Found in the Wild" emblem.
What's Andy up to?:
At the age of 40, Andy gave himself a challenge to work full time in wildlife alongside his creative business and with only a few years left, he's getting there! He runs photography editing workshops in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop; he produces camera-related gear such as the Camera Perch Hide plate system; he built and maintains wildlife photography hides in Kent as well as co-host The WildX Podcast where he, Adam Juckes and Mike Phelps discuss all things nature, photography and mental health with some absolutely incredible guests. So you could say he keeps himself very very busy but it's such a joy. Inspiring people, helping them develop their photographic and creative skills or just hearing what the podcast has done for their mental health keeps him going and he loves it.
