Andy To

关于我
Hi my name is Andy To and I am an Oakland raised filmmaker and storyteller currently living in New York City. My family always told me no matter how far I go in life, to never forget where I came from. Their story started with being rescued by the Hong Kong coast guards while escaping the Vietnam War in the 1970’s. My memories start with being raised by my grandparents in East Oakland, California. I grew up in a rough part of town where I faced adversity at a young age. It taught me to see the beauty in all things and to never pass judgment. Although we didn’t have much, my grandparents took pride in giving back to the community every chance they got. My grandfather would document their journeys back to Saigon using his Sony Hi-8 camcorder visiting the local orphanages. When he brought the footage back we would watch it together and this taught me the art of capuring memories and storytelling. It was then that my passion for filmmaking and creating stories took off and I began to create videos with any camera I could get my hands on. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the world and work with global brands including Apple, DJI, Citi Bank, Lexar, Land Rover, and more to create videos and tell authentic stories.

Andrew Wille
Andrew is a commercial photographer, content creator, and educator. He has a knack for elevating urban, landscape, and everyday objects into art, adding warmth, texture and elegance to his subjects. What started as a hobby in 2014, has now led him to traveling the world and working with top brands such as Apple, DJI, Google, Insta360, Lamborghini, Lexar, Meta, Monster Energy, Snapchat, Xbox, and many more.

For as long as he can remember Andrew has had a deep interest in photography, but it wasn’t until 2014 that he purchased his first camera. Since then, photography has become his biggest passion in life. He has always believed that a single photo has the ability to inspire or even change someone’s life, and he tries to embody that in each of his photographs. Andrew is inspired by capturing and sharing the beauty of everyday life with others. Over the past few years, Andrew has garnered a large following of over 400,000.

As one of the co-founders of Bay Shooters (and now most recently Cali Shooters), Andrew enjoys building communities of like-minded creatives and oversees large (400+ attendee) photo walks/meets. He has a passion for teaching, and has taught hundreds of photographers in both private/small group workshops, as well through a newly released nline photography course.

Andrew has been interviewed for/featured in many publications including Art of Visuals, Visit Oakland, Digital Imaging Reporter, Photogrist Photo Magazine, AskMen.com, Camera West, Voyage Chicago Magazine, and more.
