My name is Andy Todd and I graduated from Paier College of Art with a BFA in photography in 2008. I now teach at various schools and workshops and am pursuing my fine art career. I have participated in group exhibitions around the state from New Haven, to Torrington and Hartford. I embrace both traditional and digital means of creating images and use both in my work. My father was an aero-space engineer and my mother, a math teacher, so needless to say I was brought up in a scientific household. I am constantly striving to blend the two, often opposing disciplines of art and science. Photography has been the perfect bridge from the left to right side of my brain. I’m inspired by photographers of past and present including Josef Sudek, Edward Steichen, Joel-Peter Witkin, and Sally Mann. My teachers are, however, my day to day inspiration and I am extremely grateful for all they have done.
