about me

Hi, I’m Andrew (Drew) - a creator based out of Massachusetts.

In my freshman year of High School, I grew a love for sports and being a fan. But in the small town that I lived in, there was no one to capture all the awesome memories that were happening around me.

So throughout my High School years, I picked up a camera and captured all the sporting events. Although I fulfilled the need for media coverage at my High School’s sporting events, I learned an extremely important lesson.

Sports have always been more than a game to me.

I still remember being courtside at my High School’s State Championship basketball game. Watching an entire community pack the gym, rallying behind one team. That was the moment I realized sports had the power to bring people together in a way nothing else could.

That belief became real when I picked up a camera.

During one of the darkest periods in my High School’s football program, I created a video simply to tell their story as it was. The following season, the program began a revival. Their home opener sold out. Standing on the sideline, seeing that stadium filled, I realized my work had played a small part in bringing a community back together. From that moment on, I knew this was what I was meant to do.

My approach to sports photography and videography is rooted in authenticity and emotion. I don’t chase highlights alone, I look for the moments in between. A player gazing off into the distance, the battle scars on helmets and jerseys, and fans reacting in real time. These are the unseen emotions that define the game.

Visually, my style is explosive, fast, and cinematic, designed to make athletes feel larger than life while staying true to their story. I see myself as both a storyteller and an artist, enhancing the environment, elevating the moment, but never forcing something that isn’t real.

Having been on both sides of the game, as an athlete and as a fan, I understand the unseen hours, the sacrifices, and the bonds that form behind the scenes. Teams become family. Coaches become mentors. And communities find something bigger than themselves to believe in.

That’s why community-driven programs excite me the most. Telling their stories feels like giving back. Standing alongside everyone who pours their heart into the game.

When I’m behind the camera, it feels like home. Stadiums become second homes. The people around me become family.

Because at the end of the day, I don’t just capture sports.

I capture why it matters.
