Hello my name is Andrew J. Olea, I'm based in Los Angeles county right now and thanks for taking the time to view my portfolio. My camera and I have been around the world some, and absolutely cannot wait to capture more experiences. When I'm not filming, taking photos, recording, or editing I can be found at the movies, catching a concert, or record hunting anywhere they can be found.
