Theo Andris

Photographs the waterfront before the city wakes, on medium-format color film.

About Theo

Theo Andris has walked the Williamsburg waterfront at dawn for six years. He shoots on a medium-format film camera and prints every edition himself in a darkroom in Greenpoint. His pictures look for what the old refinery and the ferry landings leave behind once the crowds go home.

A steady, early-morning coffee for photographs made before sunrise. It holds up to milk, the way Theo’s grays hold up to a bright wall.
