I'm Andrew Weitzel, often referred to by my brand name, "AW Photos." I am a digital media creator focusing on sports based in the metro DC area and am here to fill any of your media needs.
Starting in early 2020, my newfound hobby of photography began. As a kid, I was always into sports, whether that be watching or playing. This led to the beginning of me photographing sports. I started off doing work for my school and eventually branched into video. Since then, I have built my brand as a self-taught filmmaker to become a known name in the sports scene in the DC Metro area as I strive to continue to grow my craft and image.
I graduated from Broad Run High School located in Loudoun County, VA in Spring 2024, and am currently attending the University of Missouri - Columbia. At Mizzou, I am pursuing a B.S. in Parks, Recreation, Sport and Tourism, with an emphasis in Sport management. And I am additionally, working towards a minor in journalism,
I am excited to be at Mizzou and continue to work with various teams creating sports-focused content. Currently, I work as a student manager for the baseball team, in addition to being a photographer for the student newspaper The Maneater. With this, I cover a range of Division 1 SEC and Big 12 sports while based in Columbia.
Through photos and video, I work to highlight the action and exhilaration of sports and show off the various games, the athletes, and their stories. I work to excite the viewers and the athletes with my work and to form pieces of media that will be forever marked that they can come back to for years to come.
