"Having been born in Germany, because my father worked for the state department, then moving to the Midwest, I became enamored of travel and new places. We traveled quite a bit as a family since my father would often take the family along when he taught summer school or did research.

I have always been fascinated by houses and structures. When I was young, my brother and I would get up early in the morning and spend hours drawing up house plans and building Lego houses. He would later become an architect but my interests turned toward art and photography so being an architectural photographer feels like the perfect balance of my interests. I am also an avid gardener and I love photographing gardens and landscape architecture."

Andrea Rugg is an architectural photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with over 36 years of experience in the photo industry, and over 24 of those years have been spent specialising in architectural photography. She photographs architecture – interiors, exteriors, landscapes, public works and gardens and likes to work people and animals into her photos whenever possible.

“I love what I do, which is photography of places and spaces; architectural photography both commercial and residential, interiors and exteriors. Making a beautiful photo is a process that is all about planning, lighting, composition, being both patient and in a hurry, getting inspired, collaborating with clients and designers and finally, comprehensive post production. This all culminates into beautiful photos and happy clients.”

Andrea’s photography has achieved numerous design awards for her clients and has been published both nationally and internationally in books, magazines and advertising and for promotion by corporate clients. Her photography has been featured in over 50 books on home improvement and home arts and crafts.
