ACCJ Chubu's Official-Unofficial Photographer

Pictured below are three extremely rare items. That's right, even more rare than a unicorn or flying pig is a picture of Andy Boone at the Chubu Walkathon!

You see, Andy Boone is always behind the camera!

Andy has been volunteering his time year after year, lending us his professional talents as the official photographer of the Chubu Walkathon International Charity Festival. The role keeps him very busy on the day, as he always needs to be ready for the next shot to document the program, and he is always watching for the perfect candid moments in order to capture the fun and spirit of the day.

But this isn't a one-day gig for Andy! The role generally requires attending planning meetings, so he knows the program inside and out, and even after the Walkathon is finished, there's still hours and hours of work in sorting, sizing, and editing images.

The Walkathon appreciates Andy's efforts.

An Active Leader

Andy, who makes his living as a professional photographer, is an active committee member and also volunteers his services for many other ACCJ Chubu events, including the annual Champagne Ball & Awards Evening.

In fact, Andy was awarded ACCJ Chubu's Volunteer of the Year Award in 2013 for his undying support of the Walkathon and all of the other events he has supported.

If you need to hire a photographer for your commercial project, we highly recommend Andy Boone!
