About Artist

Andy Furtak

For me, photography is about being aware, in the moment, tuned in, ready to catch the interplay of light and shadow. It’s also about focus, on the details, the contrasts, and the subtle moments that give an image its energy. I love the abstract beauty of the streets and strive to tell stories that make you pause and wonder. My photos are an invitation to look deeper and find your own answers. Through my lens, I transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, revealing layers of meaning hidden in the everyday streets.
