Andre Brown

As a Miami based fine art photographer, I see beauty in gritty, mundane and often overlooked urban environments. My ongoing projects speak to human impermanence, creativity and ingenuity. I typically shun traditional aesthetics of beauty to encourage deeper introspection from viewers. I often choose to eliminate the physical presence of human beings in my photographs, revealing the inner-life of nondescript places and objects similarly to American photographers William Eggleston and Stephen Shore, a New Topographics practitioner who serves as inspiration. I intend to broaden the minds of viewers, having them step away from my work with an expanded vision and understanding of subject matter they typically ignore or overlook by creating images that hold their attention and hopefully leave a mark on their psyche.
