As you will hear in the next 90 minutes, Andrew is a vastly experienced photographer who has captured many of the highs and lows of one of the greatest players of all time but this interview is not about Kobe, though he of course get a mention. We go back in time too where it all started from shooting landscapes with his father, to shadowing Sports Illustrated photographers, being a 4th assistant in a Lakers Photo shoot in the early 80s, setting up strobes or flashes in the roof of the stadiums to shoot live action basketball, training and leaving a legacy of other team photographers around the NBA, about representing your clients every time you pick up a camera and working with MIT to develop remote camera firing technology and yes, I call a basketball game a match sometimes so apologies for the wrong terminology. I hope you enjoy the, Sports Photography Philosophy Podcast! Ending
