Andrew Matautia, of Saint Andrew Photography is an artist of Samoan descent based in Wellington, Aotearoa.  

Matautia’s photography practice was initially a business endeavour. But after using it as a research tool in his postgraduate studies, it has become a medium of self-expression.  

He has produced a range of photographic works including Sauniga (2017) exhibited by Tautai in Auckland; and currently has his work featured in exhibitions -  Te Taiao, Nature, Curator’s Choice 21 and Faka-Tokelau.  His work on display at Te Papa was connected to a Climate change related project in Tokelau.

Andrew believes photography is understanding how to use a camera to tell stories.
