A multi-instrumentalist embracing art, music, writing, performance, photography, and film, Andre Costantini has collaborated with Burt Sun on many books and documentary projects since they met in 1996. That same year, Costantini co-founded Goldleaf and Big Daddy, a performance duo for which he wrote, sang, and played the accordion. In 1998 Mr. Costantini photographed the restoration of Leonardo DaVinci’s “Last Supper” in Milan with Pulitzer prize-winning photographer and photojournalist, Eddie Adams. Following the restoration project, Costantini was invited to join Adams’ workshop as a staff member and master teacher, where he continues to work to this day. In 2010, he also founded the Catskills Photography Workshops, a training facility for the next generation of image-makers. Since 2008 Costantini has produced short films for the NGO Doc to Dock, part of the Clinton Global Initiative, documenting the NGO’s efforts in Africa.
