Andrea Chu

Cloverfield, by Andrea Chu

Andrea Chu
Born: Palo Alto, CA.
Currently resides in Brooklyn, New York

Website: http://www.chucandy.com/

Work Statement:
My first experience with a camera was when I was 13 and I stole my brother's camera to document a day of skateboarding with my friends. Though the subject of my work has changed, this sense of freedom and whimsy continue as strong themes and my friends and family remain my greatest sources of inspiration. The images I have submitted are part of an ongoing series of my closest childhood friend, Candy, whose two daughters, Vicki and Annie, were born when we were still in high school. I have been documenting the girls' lives since their birth. They are now young teenagers around the age I was when I first met their parents and I find their changes and entry into adulthood to be of endless fascination. For me, the series reflect a time of change, the mystery of incipient womanhood and a playfulness tied to that fleeting bridge between childhood and adulthood.

Bio:
I grew up in Palo Alto, California and lived San Francisco until my mid-twenties. I moved to New York six years ago to finish a BFA in Photography at Pratt Institute, where I concentrated on learning the finer points of printing in color. I graduated four years ago and landed my first editorial job with Paper Magazine. My work as also been featured in the following magazines: Sportswear International, Time Magazine, Time Out New York, and Cookie Magazine. This year PDN included me as one of the emerging 30.

I really, really like your picture, Vicky and Annie by the Stream (Ages 14 and 15). I had gotten the book Fast Forward from this cute little bookstore in Providence, Rhode Island, when my family had been driving through. I saw your two photos in there, and I loved them!
Love,
Zoe
P.S. I took a picture of the picture and set it as my cell phone background. Don't worry - the name of the picture is Andrea Chu Vicky and Annie by the Stream. I credited you :)
Good luck!!
