The Photography of Andy Katz
“Andy Katz's photographs have an air of quiet contemplation about them. These images are not only often beautiful, they also are full of surprises.
They make you want to be there; to listen, to breathe, to experience. Apart from actually standing there, these photographs are as good as it gets.”
— Sam Neill, Actor
“Andy Katz's photography is simply some of the finest I've seen.”
— Bill Butler, Director Of Photography, "Jaws", "0ne Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"
“The lively subject matter probed by the sensitive eye of Andy Katz - a photographic souvenir of tradition, ritual and life - each photo a legacy.”
— Marilyn Hall, Film Producer
Welcome to My Current Project
America The Beautiful
Over the past few months, I’ve been deeply inspired by the power of this country’s natural beauty. From the sweeping mountains to the serene coastlines, America’s landscapes are not just breathtaking — they are a reminder of what unites us all
In a time where division feels more present than ever, I believe it’s important for us to step back and recognize the profound beauty that exists across our 50 states. That’s why I’m proud to be in the process of creating my newest and most important project ever, America the Beautiful . I am traveling to every State to capture the soul of this nation, showcasing the rich diversity of our landscapes and reminding us of the common ground we all share.
This project isn’t just about photographs; it’s about bringing people together through the wonder of our natural world. I truly believe that when we see the beauty around us, we can find new ways to come together and appreciate what makes this country so special.
Join me on this journey of rediscovering the splendor of America and help spread the message of unity and hope.
Let’s come together and celebrate what makes this country amazing. Let’s see the beauty, feel the unity, and continue to move forward, together.
My Newest Book “A Walk in the Park” Is Available
Support your National Parks. A portion of all sales of my latest book, A Walk In The Park are donated to the National Park Foundation to help preserve these beautiful parks and wild places.
I am extremely proud of this project and book and think it is the most fulfilling project of my lifetime. In 2020, amidst the chaos of COVID-19, I embarked on a new adventure in photography, capturing the beauty of 63 stunning U.S. National Parks. This project, a labor of love, was born from the desire to slow down and honor nature’s grandeur. Order your copy today and come along with me on this incredible journey.

Featured Exhibitions
When the Covid-19 pandemic forced many galleries and museums to shutter for most of 2020 and 2021 the interest in my virtual art experiences grew like never before. Because of this increase in activity I decided to dedicate a section of my site to scheduled and rotating Featured Exhibitions.
These Exhibitions will be like those you are used to seeing in galleries and museums in which collections are displayed and narrated in greater detail. Each Exhibit will feature a collection that I have personally created for your viewing pleasure. It is my hope that you will find all Exhibits will create thought-provoking alternatives to your in-person viewing.
Our Featured Exhibition
National Parks
The recent years have prompted a profound re-evaluation of our priorities, bringing into sharp focus the enduring significance of our natural heritage. For acclaimed photographer Andy Katz, this introspection reaffirms our profound covenant with the land. Our national parks, collectively owned by every citizen, represent an invaluable trust, demanding our unwavering commitment to their preservation. These iconic landscapes—encompassing majestic forests, winding rivers, vast deserts, sculpted canyons, breathtaking vistas, and towering mountains—are not merely geographical features; they are the very essence of our nation's identity and its most precious, irreplaceable resource.
Andy perceives this current era as a pivotal moment, a virtual reset for the American spirit. It is an opportune time to reclaim our national birthright and reassert our moral purpose by directing our collective gaze toward the unparalleled beauty and majesty of our national parks, captured through a lens that reveals them anew.
Having embarked on an extraordinary three-year odyssey, Andy traversed over 60,000 miles, visiting all 63 U.S. National Parks. This monumental undertaking, initiated amidst the global pause of 2020, was driven by a singular pursuit: to capture the pure power and transcendent beauty these Parks embody. The culmination of this journey is his celebrated book, "A Walk In The Park," a testament to his vision. The resulting images, presented with unparalleled artistry, speak volumes. We invite you to embark on a virtual journey and experience these featured National Parks through the discerning eye and lens of Andy Katz.
