André Paul Pinces seated in a photography studio

Merging artistry with commercial appeal: blending realism, cinematic grace, and raw elegance.

My work combines cinematic atmosphere, realism, and a lo-fi sensibility across commercial, editorial, and personal vision.

Based in Vancouver, BC, I studied archival printmaking and later apprenticed in New York City with Warhol artists Christopher Makos and Richard Bernstein, a background continuing to shape how I approach image-making: simple, deliberate, tactile, grounded in truth.

I've worked with major brands, exhibited across North America and Europe, and received industry recognition including a Clio Award. My background also includes editorial direction, writing, and production, including leading publications for Whistler Blackcomb and Know?Mag, one of Canada’s leading streetwear publications.

Whether shooting a campaign, directing a project, or documenting something quieter, I'm interested in images that feel considered without being overproduced; work with atmosphere, character, and sense of place.

From large campaigns to quiet, everyday moments, I develop visual stories that feel honest and lasting. Beyond the camera, I'm often at truck stops somewhere between Venice, California, and Venice, Italy - searching for the next story...
