Andrea Barnett

Photography Producer · Walt Disney Company

Orlando, FL

In My Own Words

My entire professional career is based on the extreme sport lifestyle. My passion for motocross and photography sent me to college to chase my dreams. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Digital Arts and Design I became a photography producer for The Walt Disney Company. I am responsible for photographing characters, guest talent, products, studio shoots, and architecture throughout all the parks in Orlando, FL and Anaheim, CA. I also plan all shoots, manage and maintain equipment, organizing and filing all images, and editing, manipulating and composting images.

Along with what I call my 'real job' at Disney, I am a freelance photographer for professional and amateur motocross events.
