Andres was born in 1977 in Bogotá, Colombia, son of a fine artist and furniture business owner. His interest in photography started at 14 when he purchased his first camera. At age 18, he moved to England to study at Oxford. He went on to complete a design foundation diploma, product design BA (hons), and BSc in multimedia technology.

He started his career as a website and graphic designer, which contributes to his understanding of what designers look for in stock photography. His microstock career started in December 2004 while still designing websites. He continued doing both until going full-time in May 2006.
