Andrew Phelps is an American photographer who has been living in Europe since 1990. His work is influenced by the cross-cultural lifestyle he now leads, dividing his time between the deserts of Arizona and the Alps of Austria. He works as a curator and board member of the GALERIE FOTOHOF in Salzburg. His personal work is represented by the ROBERT MORAT GALERIE in Hamburg, GALERIE BRUNNHOFER in Linz, GALERIE JO VAN DE LOO in München, GALERIE SOIZ in Passau, and is a member of the PIECE OF CAKE project.
Andrew is available for commissioned assignments as well as lecturing about his work.
When not photographing, Andrew likes to spend his time with his wife and 2 young daughters kayaking and scrambling in the mountains around town, trying to keep koi fish alive and well, and rumor has it that he makes the best chicken enchiladas in Salzburg, which isn’t hard to do.
