Andy H. Tu
My story as a bay area photographer is one of growth, discovery, and passion. It started when I was a freshman at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, a shy and insecure artist who struggled to find my voice and style. I was fortunate to have a mentor, Henry Chan, who saw my potential and helped me overcome my fears and doubts. He taught me to follow my intuition and appreciate the art of imperfection.
Now, I am a seasoned photographer and visual effects artist with over two decades of experience in the creative industry. I have honed my skills and developed my niche in personal branding photography, commercial photography, and fashion photography. I have worked with prestigious publications like Maxim and Men’s Health, as well as leading brands like Fashion Nova and Nike.
Innovative Personal Branding and Commercial Photographer
I am a photographer with a twist. I don’t just take pictures, I create stories. I use my skills and experience in creative writing, copywriting, visual effects, and animation to bring my subjects to life. I see them as characters, with personalities, goals, and conflicts. I see them as part of a bigger story, a story that I want to share with the world.
This is what drives my work as a personal branding photographer and commercial photographer. I have spent the last ten years perfecting my craft, capturing the beauty and strength of athletes and models. But I have a bigger vision, a vision that goes beyond photography. I want to build a comic universe called DangerGirl, where I can combine photography, art technology, and the amazing people I’ve worked with into a stunning universe.
Fashion Photographer: Merging AI Art and Photography
As a fashion photographer, I am fascinated by the potential of AI art and photography. I draw on my background in creature development and 3D art to create amazing images that mix reality and fantasy. I have a harmonious relationship between photography and 3D art, resulting in a style that is both fun and different – a manifestation of my belief that photography and AI art should collaborate to tell a story and create something unique.
Creative Director: Driven by Your Vision
As a Creative Director, I am a multitasker and love to take on diverse projects at the same time. I have a knack for producing high-quality creative work that stands out, and I am confident that I can add value to any organization. My ideal clients value my commitment and realize that their success is my success.
Through my photography, digital art, and content marketing services, I aim to help people reach their goals. I truly enjoy working with people and aspire to build lasting relationships with clients who share my enthusiasm for creativity and innovation. Let’s work together to make your vision a reality!
