Andy Mahr was born and raised in Chicago, IL and currently is a Texas-based photographer specialising in industrial photography. Andy's work has regularly been featured in the Communication Arts Photo Annual, PDN and One Eyelands Best of the Best, and he has been nominated as one of Archive Magazine's '200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide' several times.

As an industrial photographer, Andy loves capturing images that involve real world situations with real people doing real jobs. He often immerses himself into the environment with the workers and gets dirty. He loves the gritty, hard working tenacity that his industrial subjects demonstrate and this is strongly characterized in his work.

Andy began his career as an art director and designer. Coming from the advertising world, he has a unique understanding of the creative process and a real appreciation of what creatives go through to bring their ideas to light. He really values the collaborative experiences he shares with his art directors.

His industrial clients include Statoil, Gates International, RAM Trucks, Timberland Pro Series, Lowes Home Improvement, Pavecon, Bayer, PG&E, Barrick Gold, Phytogen, Liberty and the United States Marine Corp., to name a few.
