Andrew Sovjani was born into a family of working artists in 1967. After seeing first hand the struggles of working artists, he decided to set his own artistic aspirations aside and pursue a career in engineering and international business. While living in Japan in the 90's, Andrew was drawn to photography as a way to record all his travels throughout Asia. It didn't take long to realize, however, that snapshots alone wouldn't quench his desire to get back to creating art. Upon returning to the U.S., he decided to leave the business world to study fine art photography full-time. Andrew has studied with John Sexton and at the New England School of Photography, where he has also taught advanced B&W darkroom techniques. His work has been shown in exhibitions throughout the East Coast and Japan and is held in many private collections.

Andrew has his studio in Conway, a small hill-town near the Berkshires in western Massachusetts where he lives with his wife, Hitomi, and their daughter, Mika.
