Human Stories in a Digital World
The stories we tell about ourselves are like doors through which we can invite other people to see the world through our eyes. As a digital storyteller, I work with people who are driven by a passion to be agents of positive change in their world and want to express that passion more richly through story.
Let’s Talk About Your Story
If you’d like to have a conversation about a digital project, I’d love to hear from you.
Testimonials
“Andrew James Ferris is video, photo, audio, and editing teams all packed into one brain and one backpack, ready to deploy anywhere in the world. He is a drone wielding, shutter-snap crazy digital storyteller who’s filmed and photographed from Sri Lanka, to the Costa Rican Jungle, to your cousin’s wedding, and your uncle’s real estate company. He’s an audio engineer, a musician, and an artist. I’ve hired Andrew to film my keynote reel, TED talks I’ve organized, video footage for my business, head shots, and more. Perhaps most importantly, he’s a ton of fun to work with! ”
“Andrew James Ferris is an absolute gem who is a pleasure to collaborate with. His easy-going nature and ability to handle the unpredictable while creating an incredible video product were the perfect combination for our project. We hired Andrew to travel to three remote locations in India, Peru and Nepal and to document our student’s global health clerkship experiences. The final output was more than we could have ever envisioned. He was able to capture the essence of our student experience with minimal direction. He has an innate ability to seize on an idea or moment and bring it to life through his work.”
“Andrew and I began a digital video collaboration in 2018. He was able to create brilliant, visually stunning animations to accompany classical and modern Chinese orchestral compositions. As a creative collaborator I can count on him to bring his enthusiasm and diverse digital skill set to any project.”
Human Stories in a Digital World
“People often ask me if it’s hard to be a photographer in the age of smartphones and Instagram. I usually try to contain my enthusiasm when I answer, ‘Yes, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!’ Living in a world where the average person on the street is both a consumer and a creator of photography makes it easier to relate to people as fellow creative artists in a project. As a Digital Storyteller, my job involves exploring the ways in which we use story to weave meaning into our lives. I cannot imagine a more exciting time to be a human being.”
