Ryan Andrew (1991) is a portraiture photographer based in Jakarta, Indonesia. After graduating with a Bachelor of Business from Victoria University in Melbourne in 2013, Andrew decided to pursue his passion for visual communication by studying photography at Lasalle College Jakarta in 2018.

He often focused on portraiture and began his career path after completing the study.

Throughout his career, He has primarily used an editorial approach to photograph a range of subjects while incorporating personal stories. His work examines themes such as gender fluidity, intimacy, and identity.

Alongside documentary photography, he has also worked extensively with numerous stylists in the fashion industry to produce creative images, runway shows and International online magazine publications.

In his practice, Andrew explores the beauty and strength that each of his subjects carries despite their flaws. He believed that his greatest inspiration comes from close friendships and personal narratives. However, his work merely reflects his intense aspirations and deepest feelings.
