“Every
photograph of Andre’s, whether it be of an International DJ or of a
local aspiring model, conveys uniqueness and raw artistic appeal. His
ability to capture raw emotion and pure abandonment is what makes each
image so memorable. His signature method of allowing people to be
themselves in front of the lens, is what makes him well known within
the artistic community. His images induce many thought provoking
conversations & his style definitely exudes variety”.

I
have been organizing and promoting events in Toronto for over a decade
at every hot spot in the city. I run an event planning and promotions
company called Boogie Inc, and I am also in charge of all the publicity
and promotions for the record label Mixed Signals Music. I have had the
pleasure of working with some of the most talented DJ’s and producers
in the world. I have also had the distinct pleasure of working with
Andre Matthews on many occasions. Every event I put together requires
hours and hours of preparation to ensure it’s success. I need a
photographer that can capture the essence of the vibe at my parties and
Andre is the man we come to for the job every time. No doubt, when
Andre walks though the door people notice him because of his unique
look and style of dress, but before long he disappears into the shadows
to capture some of the best moments of the night. Many people pose for
Andre at my events and I must say I do love those photos, but it is the
ones that Andre shoots when people aren’t looking into the lens and
posing that are the most powerful. On many occasions the headliners at
my events write to me to tell me how impressed they are with the photos
that were taken. Producers like Blaze from West End Records, one of the
most respected and longest running record labels in all of dance music,
Dennis Ferrer from Objektivity Records in New York City and even a
legend like Tony Humphries have commented on Andre’s work.
Not
only is Andre a talented photographer, he also has a huge passion for
his work, and it shows. I can always count on him to take great
pictures at my events and parties, but even more impressive is the turn
around time on the photos. Andre can be out all weekend shooting
several different parties, and even though he may be dead tired, he
stays up and professionally edits each and every job, and sends it to
his clients usually within 48 hours. I have never worked with someone
who can produce such amazing work but also have it back to me in such a
prompt fashion.
I hope to continue working with Andre well into
the future. His work can be viewed on my website
