"We're all leads in our own stories, playing out our lives on the stage sets of life. I want to record these stages and the people who inhabit them."

In 2024 Andy was awarded the Ath Cup at the NZIA Awards. The citation read:

"Your name was put forward because of the significant contribution through your photographic work, enlivening the many lives of Wellingtons beautiful buildings. In many instances your photographs hold the memories of buildings now past, and moments of fleeting, underrated beauty, forming an invaluable record of this place we call home. More than an archive though, your photography illuminates and provokes a multitude of issues relevant to the architectural discourse".

In 2022 he was presented the Presidents award by the NZIA for his contribution to architectural photography.

He has won and been shortlisted for numerous awards for his architectural and portrait work over his 20 year career on both sides of the world.

In 2020 the Alexander Turnbull Library collected his Cuba Street Portraits and Love is Understanding work. His work was recognised by the Alexander Turnbull Library in 2020 who collected his Cuba Street Portraits and Love is Understanding series to preserve in the nation’s archive.
