Who am I?

My name is Andy Norris, and I started doing photography to capture the life I live as best as possible.  Joining the Air Force as a loadmaster on C-130s right out high school really creates an air of uncertain futures.  I started out as a 20 year old kid traveling all over the world for work, only to come home to Delaware, which if anyone knows it, doesn’t have a lot going on.  In an effort to capture and display what my life looked like, I picked up my first camera after my first deployment to the Middle East back in 2016.  Instead of taking a photography course at school or learning from a mentor, I decided to take my new canon rebel T-6 to a beach in Australia and sit there for hours figuring out which buttons did what a good photo looked like.  It took a couple of years, but having just turned 30, I finally feel like I’m doing a half decent job. 

To this day I have been blessed enough to visit 35 countries, speak two languages, and am trying my best to live a life where continuous learning and exploring are at the forefront of my goals.  I moved to Colorado during Covid-19 in 2020, and am lucky enough to have such a wonderful backyard of a state to call home. Continuously finding spots and exploring is on the current agenda, and that won’t be changing anytime soon.  I now shoot with a Sony A7R III, and love to go photographing with others.
