I’m Andrew Darlow, a photographer, educator, digital imaging consultant, and toy and game inventor based in New Jersey. Having experienced the loss of irreplaceable photos and videos firsthand, I developed step-by-step backup systems that have helped hundreds of clients and students safeguard their most valuable digital memories from catastrophic loss.

As the founder and editor of The Imaging Buffet and host of backup.fm, I share expert insights on photography, backup strategies, color management, and fine-art printing. I also provide guidance on protecting digital files across computers, smartphones, and social media platforms. For over 30 years, I’ve worked with professional photographers, businesses, and creative professionals to refine their imaging workflows, ensuring their work is preserved and presented at its best.

Beyond photography, I am the inventor of GalleryPouch™, a premium handmade bubble bag designed to protect artwork of all sizes, from small prints to giant framed pieces. Produced by Frame Destination Inc., GalleryPouch™ is a trusted solution for artists, galleries, and collectors.

I am also an experienced speaker and workshop leader, having presented at institutions such as the International Center of Photography, Columbia University, and the Arles Photo Festival in France. My photography has been exhibited worldwide and featured in major publications like Photo District News and Professional Photographer Magazine, as well as on Animal Planet and WPIX-TV.

At the heart of my work is a deep passion for photography, preservation, and innovation. Whether through my books, fine-art prints, or consulting, my goal is to help individuals and businesses protect, enhance, and share their most important images—while also creating engaging experiences through toys and games.

Through my newsletter and social media, I provide up-to-date information to help people get things done more effectively, benefiting both themselves and their communities. If you’re looking to safeguard your digital legacy, enhance your printing workflow, or protect your artwork, I’d love to connect.
