Andres Cruz was born in the Galápagos Islands in 1995. He grew up in a small community of 150 inhabitants in Puerto Velasco Ibarra, Floreana Island. Limited access to technology drove him to explore nature and develop a creative mind. In 2016, he moved to mainland Ecuador where he pursued a degree in Environmental Communication. As a photographer and filmmaker, he collaborates with local and international NGO's focused on conservation and protection of this Archipelago. Currently, he lives in Floreana and travels all over the globe to photograph nature's wonders.
