I am a freelance photographer based in suburban Boston, Massachusetts. My specialty is environmental portraiture – small windows that I open into the lives of my subjects. I work primarily with natural light, unadorned settings, and a genuine, direct approach. The result is photography that conveys a sense of authenticity for the corporate, healthcare and educational clients I serve.

Much of my work involves individuals with special needs. Among my subjects are children with autism, children with brain and spinal injuries, and adults with persistent mental illness. I have a low-key, unobtrusive approach combined with a sense of respect for every person I photograph. The body of work which has emerged includes a traveling exhibit, Faces and Voices of Autism, that has shown in the United States Senate Russell Rotunda and the Massachusetts State House.

I also have a unique niche in color, infrared photography. Oriented toward fine art display, these pictures have been described in the Boston Globe as vivid and energetic with "an attitude about acceptance of change that's actually rather Zen – Technicolor Zen."

I hope you'll look around my site and contact me the next time you need a photographer.

I am happy to report that Andrew Child Photography is a certified participant in AIGA's CarbonCool carbon offset program.
