About
About WilzFoto | Andrew Wilz Automotive. Industrial. Landscape.
Global Campaigns, location-authentic photography built in real environments.
I’m Andrew - Aspen-based commercial photographer and director. I create high-impact imagery at the intersection of machines, remote places, and the natural world—work designed for brands that need authenticity, precision, and scale.
My foundation is sport and the outdoor world. I spent over a decade as a Tier-1 professional athlete, and that background shapes how I work: disciplined preparation, efficient execution, and a deep respect for what’s real. I’m an “old school” creative—raised on darkrooms, books, color theory, and print craft—and I still care about the nuance that makes an image hold up over time. When it matters, I shoot medium format for depth, detail, and 16-bit color fidelity.
I build images people can feel—work that connects brands to place, purpose, and something larger than product.
Pillars:
Authentic Automotive
Award-winning, real-world automotive imagery for campaigns, launches, and editorial—dynamic motion, location-based production, and concept-to-delivery creative direction. Introduced the concept of 'Overland' to the NA market with ARB USA in 2009 as the rebrand-photographer; incorporating lifestyle into what's otherwise considered 'driving offroad'. Vision + authentic lifestyle + world class creative drives the narrative over here.
Industrial
High-end industrial and heavy-mechanized storytelling—operations, infrastructure, and the people behind the work—made visually beautiful without losing truth.
Landscape / Location
Dramatic landscapes and remote environments—expedition-capable production and environmental storytelling with an ultra-premium finish.
