ABOUT Andre Wagner
Andre D. Wagner (b. 1986) is an American artist and photographer born in Omaha, Nebraska. He is a 2010 graduate of Buena Vista University with a BA in Social Work, and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Wagner's photography explores the poetic and lyrical nuances of daily life; using city streets, people, public transportation, and the youth of the twenty-first century as his visual language. His work is rooted in his life experiences, as he believes that's the foundation to the mind's eye. More than a documentary statement, his photographs are aimed at creative expression. Wagner remains committed to film, developing black and white negatives and making his own prints in his darkroom.

Andre bet on himself and his potential when starting his photography career. What is one way you’ve put yourself out there to achieve your personal, creative, or professional goals?
Jesus, this is a dream studio space, it's incredible. Congrats to Dre for all the success!!
Incredible stuff, I’ve loved watching Andre’s career grow over the years. He deserves everything and more for the hard work he puts in. Love the MTV Cribs style intro as well lol
The practicality of Andre's space is astounding, not really any major bells and whistles. I feel like too many studio tours on TH-cam (mainly of like content-creators and influencers) try to flex the fancy desk setups and huge bougie white rooms and expensive equipment that sits unused on the shelf like a billionaire's car garage. This is the space of a true professional that cares about their craft.
It's like MTV cribs but way cooler and for real. Great guy and great work!
What a dream space! So happy for Dre and all the much-deserved recognition he's been getting. Looking forward to seeing New City, Old Blues in book form, hopefully soon!
Fantastic. Such a feast for the eyes. The space, the workflow and your process, the whole thing. The darkroom is especially tantalizing. Andre I am so stoked for what you've accomplished!
This is the kind of Cribs that I care about. Andre the legend. Great stuff, Skillshare.
Andre has become one of my favorite photographers after getting back up from a long burnout break! Truly inspirational
Outstanding space and photography. Looking at his work - Gordon Parks himself would be proud of this imagery - beautiful!
What a breathtaking space. So glad Andre is the one with the keys to it
A living legend and I don’t say that lightly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
love how honest he is, as a photographer its never all gravy so glad he broke that down
so dope. Andre is like the kawhi leonard of photography--low key but one of the best
Yes! I’ve always loved Wagner’s work!!
Cedric is my favourite❤ one of the first pics he took of him wiping his face with his tank just felt like New York essence in a photo.
Love your work and your space! That dark room is amazing!!!
Glad you like it!
This is a dream studio! Very professional and stylish too
Truly a living legend.
Ooh, that's a nice studio. Great to see Andre's success from his talent and hard work!
I have followed Andre for a long time it feels, and it is so inspiring to see his incredible work and watch him go from his apartment studio and darkroom to this!! His passion and commitment to himself pays off!! I am hoping Incan get a copy of his next book!!
He’s going places! happy to see people doing good, from his apartment’s darkroom to this amazing studio wow.
Andre Wagner is easily my favorite photographer. I've always wanted to see his studio and this video did it justice. Can't wait to check out this show. Flying to NYC specifically see it in person
wow that is a dream space. He is putting it to great use too, amazing art.
Awesome studio Tour !!!
Love this! As a photographer who also has followed Andre’s work this is a great video
this man works.
As a retired photographer of over 60 years I came across your website and I'm very impressed, I had a dark room too but not like yours however mine was more like a hole in the wall in those days, your Black and White work is wonderful, I can see you put a lot of feeling into your photography before you shoot that makes a hole lot of difference. Cheers.👍👍👍
Great studio - wow!!
such an inspiration man, love your work, love your mentality.
the ‘tomorrow leaders’ photo is so damn good
Andre is an inspiration for me here in Lincoln, Nebraska.
🥹 We love to hear that!
Great to watch it was definitely eye opening to a real work flow and organisation
so nice tour and it is a candy to the eyes
Wow. 😅 this is amazing on many levels.
Modern Day Legend 🔥📸🔥
Well, well deserved. I love to see it.👏🏿
This is all very impressive. And I’m also super glad that I shoot digital so that I don’t have to own all of that stuff.
This is the dream! Kudos to you living it already! 💜
Love this so much. I can't believe this space, the darkroom, the printing, the film and just the general know how of how everything works together. You're definitely an inspiration to what can be done. Love the work and wish you nothing but more success in the future.
Wow! I love your enthusiasm, and your work is amazing. Love the studio.
What an impressive space, well thought out and your workflow looks seamless. Well done.
Love the dark room brings back old memories in the dark room in college
Absolutely insane space, and I appreciate the ice cream storage... very important
🎞️ +🍦= 😍
Great video - Fantastic setup and images Dre 🔥
Such a fan of this guy

A master at work.
this is the dream man. keep up the good work !

Super inspiring seeing a Black artist such as Dre shine like this in the film photography world, especially seeing how well hes doing for himself bc if you know gear, you know NONE of that in his studio is cheap lmao! Well done man! Salute!
This is awesome. Andre's energy is amazing!
This is so damn inspiring.
Love this studio space😯shout out from Omaha,NE 😊
What a space! He has a Noritsu hs1800?! That’s crazy
Love this!
So great to see this guy flourishing and seeing his hard work and passion pay off
We couldn't agree more 💚
Everyone be down with a frown when you opened *the* Aladdin's Cave of all fridges. ...

Fantastic video. Quality is top. Andre is a very honest artist, I love all his work. When he scans and edits his photos are thoose jpg or a higher format file ?
what an amazing studio!! I would love to come to NYC and do some street photography with you and shoot the breeze!
Unfreakingbelievably impressive. You found a new follower
Wow! ❤
Excellent
Damn ! Super impressive space. You've inspired me young fella. I see some changes coming in my space. Great work
Dope episode 🔥
Impressif
Anyone know what film scanner he has?
ドライマウントプレスとか懐かしいなあ。
Does it matter what make the tripod is ? I have a leica m6, Hasselblad 501cm, Rolleiflex 2.8f, rolleiflex tessar 3.5. Always wanted a pentax 6x7 !. I do have a pentax spot meter and a seconik. A Durst enlager and leica focomat. Film base plus fog !
Aside from Wagner’s wonderful personality and talent (and his amazing studio!), I was struck by something that should be a teachable moment. Notice the photos he’s arranging for his exhibition. The vast majority of them are in landscape orientation. We see the world in landscape orientation. Wagner is a talented and accomplished photographer, and I’m sure those photos in portrait orientation were taken that way because the composition called for it. I’m so frustrated by those people who take so many of their photos in portrait orientation not because it's right compositionally, but because that’s what Instagram favours. To those people, please learn from masters like Wagner and be guided by composition and aesthetics, not by an application!
Geez how does he afford this stuff ?
Kinda weak that you don’t link directly to Andre’s social
Really nice video, so thanks; I "liked and subcribed".. Just wondering why you basically gave potential burglars a 'hit list' of your equipment and exactly where to find it in your studio.
Doesn't that worry you a bit? No criticism, just a thought.
now i just need a few million dollars😊
HIM
YES
How does he have all this money? Street photography doesn’t make any money.
I think we are seeing him identify with his personal work which is street photography. But he's been doing other work as well. We know The New York Times and Rolling Stone had assignments he created work for. And this Gordan Parks Foundation Fellowship might have helped him focus on more personal work and tools.
What type of roll film screening do you have?
