Client Endorsements
"Andy is a true modern photographer, his work emanates naturally from the digital world. And his take on motion always seems to come with a side of distinct wit or a unique perspective."
Andrew Keller, ECD, Crispin Porter + Bogusky
"Andy's fantastic. Not only is he a super talented photographer, he's also an amazing individual to be around of. Our Nike shoot was in Portland during the worst possible weathers for two days. Yet Andy and his team managed to pull off stunning results. (Even his candid/blooper shots look fantastic) If Andy was an ebay seller, I'd give him A++++++++ and buy from him again. If we were in prison, I'd protect him in the shower. Yeah, Andy's that cool, and he loves spicy foods."
Lance Wei, Art Director, Cole & Weber United
"Imagine McGuyver with a stick of gum, a twist tie and a camera and you might get insight into the photography of Andy Batt. He makes impossible things happen and documents them in such a way that makes you scratch your head and ask, "'how did he do that?'"
Jen Kilcoyne, Designer
"I always look forward to working with Andy - not just because of the amazing work he does or the ideas he brings to the campaign. But because he's as personable as he is talented. He creates a positive, collaborative atmosphere at the shoots. It makes the process better and it makes our clients comfortable. I've enjoyed every project we've worked on together."
Leah Henderson, Creative Director, HMH Advertising
"Andy is a great photographer. He's one of those people who always brings something to the table. His stuff always has great production value and he also happens to be a great dude." September 24, 2007
Marc Sobier, Art Director, Goodby Silverstein
"Oregon Ballet Theatre receives regular praise, from both our arts colleagues and our patrons, for the stunning photography in our advertising collateral. It's a true testament to Andy's skill. He has quickly established himself as an expert dance photographer."
Erik Jones, Marketing Director, Oregon Ballet Theatre

I've been doing a little teaching this year-last Saturday I taught a full day creative lighting workshop through Newspace Photo.
I had a class of 9 students, and spent the day exploring the idea of non-formula driven lighting, while at the same time showing them as much technique and gear as possible. I've also been helping my friend Jen Brinkman, who teaches photography at both PNCA and MHCC, by inviting her classes into my studio and giving them a 2 hour lighting demo.
I'm really enjoying these opportunities to give back to the photo community. It's fun to share my love for both the art and for the gadgets, and it's an opportunity to do what I can to influence these new/upcoming photographers to consider themselves as professional photographers.
The other reason I love doing this is that I walk away with a some new portraits from every session. It's a different mindset altogether than when I'm shooting for a client. These portraits are quick-studies in technique, and I always get a few shots that surprise me.
You can see a whole folio of them by clicking the PROJECTS tab above this post [and Japanese Monster Movie is still there as well, just click the text link for 'sub album' to the left]
