Photographer #413: Andrew B. Myers

Andrew B. Myers, 1987, is a young Canadian photographer based in Toronto. He has a very distinct photographic style. His work is aesthetic, using carefully placed objects on simple color backgrounds which creates a large area of negative space. Due to the use of negative space the images gain an awkward flatness. His photographs are well composed, graphic and stylish. The sunlit shadows, washed out colors as well as the objects used refer back to the 1970's and 1980's with a modern twist. Andrew's photographs contain elements of nostalgia and pop culture. The following images come from the portfolio's 2011 PT.1, 2010 PT.1 and 2009.
