Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Andrew Pateras was exposed to a myriad of cultures through extensive travel. He then went on to work for G (GAP) Adventures and his travel itch became uncontrollable. Andrew has visited over 500 cities, in 60 countries and on all 6 continents! His photographic skills developed organically and through many years of work in weddings and commercial work. He has been on assignments all over the world and has a vast portfolio, some of which has been displayed at Contact and other exhibitions. His work has appeared in magazines and even on international news broadcasts when he was trapped in the 2011 Japan earthquake/tsunami. Andrew is continually developing his skills, adding mirrorless camera bodies, the latest lenses and drone expertise to his tool bag. Investing in the best equipment is a principle he believes in because the best tools along with the proper skill will create the best quality work.
