About me
Sane, sane they're all insane
The fireman's blind, the conductor's lame
A Cincinnati jacket and a sad luck dame
Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain
Clap hands...

-Tom Waits

Update:

Not really shooting much right now - working more on my paintings. But hit me up if you have an idea that will make me want to change my mind. And I'm open to paid shoots when my schedule permits. My rates are cheap.

My name is Andrew Hersey. I don't shoot fashion, I don't shoot glamour, I rarely shoot portraits. I do what I do only because my work expresses something that I have a need to say. The "what I want/don't want" stuff is on my website. I advise you to read the whole sales pitch if you wanna pose for me.



http://andrewhersey.com/archives/abandoned/images/0501-0745.jpg



And FWIW, my friends list is limited to people I've worked with, want to work with, know, or admire. I have no interest in proving how many people like me.

Photography bores the crap out of me. I'm all about the art.






Credits
Though I like working with "real world" friends more than people I don't know, I have gotten to make art with many fine MM models over the years. All my top friends on this page are past subjects (and highly recommended), and prospective models should contact any of them as references.

Lovely work, it's very interesting to see how a painter photographs, i am a photographer that try to thinks as a painter sometimes but i've got no painting experience whatsoever, i'm just an admirer. :)

I love that Tom Waits song. :)

As for Virginia....Winter? Or early next year? I still want to come, just have to get through the big move first! :)

I thought you'd like that one! I found so many lace dresses after our shoot...too bad :( I think Laurent (the photographer) has a similar aesthetic as you. He is more portrait-focused though.
