| Artist Spotlight | Andrea Castro Andrea
Born and raised in the Boston area but now residing just outside of the city, Andrea has been taking photos for the last 10 years. She began her journey by purchasing her first film camera with her very first paycheck from her first job at 15.
“I have always been drawn to documentary photography, although I’ve never felt that my work fits neatly into one category. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been attentive to the smallest details of the world around me. The way a person’s eyes wander or their hands interact with their surroundings, the nuances of their expressions and mannerisms, the quality of light that enters a room, the sounds and textures of a place, and the subtle energy between people. I’m fascinated by how these seemingly insignificant details can reveal something about a person, a place, or an experience that might otherwise go unnoticed. Ultimately, I’m inspired by the possibility of reflecting humanity back to itself, of honoring the world by paying attention to it, and by giving form to experiences that might otherwise exist only as fragments of memory and feeling.”
All of Andrea’s photos were taken with her Leica M4, a 35mm Summicron 8-element lens, and Kodak Tri-X 400 film. Be sure to follow Andrea on her photography journey!
