Born into poverty, Andy To has navigated his way through adversity by using his hands and creative vision with the camera to capture timeless moments. Andy currently lives in Oakland, California, and would like to travel to all of the countries in the world one day.

A multimedia enthusiast with 10+ years of experience, Andy has worked on producing creative content, videos, and new media for American Airlines, Citi Bank, Herschel Supply, Alameda County, The City of Oakland, Adorama, Borrowlenses, and more. He is a daily contributor to Instagram, Snapchat, and all things social media. He enjoys giving back to the community and co-founded Feedbacknation and Green Acre.

Landscape photography has always been a go-to because it allows him to be outdoors.

“It’s something about fresh air that inspires me to be productive.”

When he’s not shooting photography and videos, Andy enjoys eating tacos and calling himself the Taco Connoisseur. He spends his breaks running, reading, and sitting down for a good cup of coffee.

Last summer Andy traveled to six different countries over the course of three months on a project called “Picture a Change: International”. The goal of the project was to document how powerful the human spirit is in poverty. They filmed in different parts of the world including India, South Africa, Nicaragua, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
