Andrew J. Calise is a photographer based in Virginia, working across medical, scientific, and documentary photography. With a background in healthcare and experience as a U.S. Navy corpsman, his work is shaped by an understanding of clinical environments and the people within them.
His practice moves between structured assignments—such as medical device and lab photography—and long-term personal projects focused on memory, place, and observation. Projects like Operation Stones of Honor reflect an interest in time, service, and the quiet presence of overlooked histories.
Calise’s work emphasizes clarity, environment, and human connection, often exploring how subjects are seen, documented, and remembered.
