Blake Andrews (29 December 1968) is an American street photographer and blogger based in Eugene, Oregon.[1] Andrews was a member of the In-Public street photography collective.[2]

Life and work

[edit | edit source]

Andrews was born in Berkeley[2] and grew up in Briceland, California.[3] He began photography in 1993, a year after moving to Portland.[2] In 2004, he joined the Portland Grid Project,[4] in which a number of photographers have continued to photograph Portland, square mile by square mile.[5][6] After moving from Portland to Eugene in 2006,[7] he worked in the similar Eugene Grid Project.[8]

Andrews became a member of the In-Public street photography collective in 2006,[2] and is also a member of Portland-based collective Light Leak.[9]

Andrews mostly works in black and white. His "finely tuned black-and-white photographs" are "so subtle that you need to double-check that you haven't missed something. This is a rare quality. They are a quiet homage to the weird, and often feature children. . . . His style is both subtle and original."[10]

Andrews' blog B is "widely popular" and "one of the most respected in the photographic community".[10] Andrews has been writing it since 2007.[2] Pete Brook said in 2010 that "Andrews' sideways and irreverent commentaries are refreshing in the photoblog zeitgeist."[11]
