I really don’t like talking about myself, but these folks were kind enough to share some lovely words:

“Andy approaches life with empathy, humour and a certain curiosity that allows him to capture emotion in a way that doesn’t feel staged. It results in work that feels honest and approachable.”

Michelle Prowse - Vice President, Strategic Planning at Buzzfeed

“Andy is one of the most talented, genuine people I’ve worked with by far in the industry. I’ve worked with Andy on various concept to completion projects for just over ten years. He’s shot live performances, set stills, album covers, and executed gallery shoots for many reality and competition television shows. Whatever the show, whoever the talent (children, teens, adults, celebs, newbies), Vanderkaay is always the first call I make. Always calm and adaptable even in the most stressful, challenging situations. Always a great atmosphere on set. A true creative, he's always looking for ways to take things to the next level. Professional, insightful, friendly and excellent with clients. 10/10 would recommend!” 

Karina Richmond - Producer, Sonar Entertainment

“Andy is great to work with. Detailed, focused, collaborative, and the right blend of professional, and personable. Looking forward to working with him again!”

David Ross - Creative Director, DDB Canada

“Working with Andy is a pleasure from start to finish. He was with us on a number of run and gun shoots, and captured a ton of great images and throughout the process he was very collaborative!”

Adam Tuck - Senior Art Director, LG2

“Working with Andy is an absolute joy. He’s instantly likeable, kind, understanding, collaborative, adaptable and genuine. His ability to enhance the creative vision is effortless and exciting. Looking forward to working with Andy again.”

Mitch Duesling - Associate Creative Director, The Hive

“Andy has a great eye, he’s collaborative and a riot to work with. Highly recommend.”

Natalie Armata - Chief Creative Officer, Giants & Gentlemen

“Andy provided his amazing photography services at a recent endorsement production day for my client HGTV host Brian McCourt. His professionalism, talent and commitment to all details was extremely impressive. I would not hesitate in recommending him and look forward to working with him again in the future.”

Lilana Novakovich - President, Celebrity Events Network
