“Andy is unique in the world of management: he cares for people first, and profit second. His mission driven philosophy is infectious, and in many ways, the reason for his continued success — he drives both himself and others to reach higher planes. As someone who’s know him for over 10 years, he stands apart as one of the most respected, inspiring individuals I’ve ever known.”

“Andy has been amazing to work with! He’s a highly intelligent, knowledgeable, engaging, passionate, approachable, and strategic business leader who sincerely cares about people and social change. By nature, Andy sees “the glass as half full” and inspires people to persevere. He’s committed to mentoring people in a manner that encourages professional growth and success. I feel so fortunate to work closely with Andy!”

“Andy Patrick is an extremely talented and capable entrepreneur that is guided by both his head and his heart. As the Founder of FiftyCrows Foundation, he has supported countless photographers while promoting action around important social issues. As the CEO of liveBooks, he is a visionary leader who has successfully built the company into an industry leader while gaining the trust and respect of everyone in the company.”

“Andy Patrick has been a selfless driving force of my career and I really owe the world to him. Back in 2006 he contacted me after having seen my work, Andy was the CEO of Livebooks and he offered to make me a website, simply because he liked my work. That website changed the course of my career as it became the main channel to introduce my work to Western editors. He has helped so many photographers tell their story to audiences they would otherwise never have reached. .”

“Andy is the kind of leader that creative folks love to work with. He has a distinct and specific vision for what he wants, but once articulated, he steps out of the way and lets you do what you do best. I count him as both a client and a friend, and have the utmost respect for his integrity, ethics, and relationship skills. He’s truly one of a kind.”

“In Chinese there is one term to explain the concept of networking, mentorship and support. It is known as guanxi. After winning a FiftyCrows award, my guanxi was in great shape. Andy is a dynamo of vision, enthusiasm and generosity. We sat down and made a list of names and soon I was showing my portfolio directly to designers and publishers that I never would have been able to approach without his support and guidance. Now I have my first book of ten years of my work, published by Chronicle Books. ”

“I’ve had the honor and pleasure of collaborating with Andy over the past 10 years. His expertise and insights have played a great role in defining my photography career, from his help with my transition to photogrpahy over from graphic design, to his involvement in curating my first solo international exhibition at the Museu Oscar Niemeyer in Brazil, and to his introductions to professionals within the industry that have helped me in developing both a fine art and commercial photography business. He’s the first person I call when I’m diving into a new photographic endeavor!”
