About the contributor
Andre Davancens, Photographer, Sports Analyst
Andre Davancens is a Photographer and Sports Analyst for The Mirror. He has been juggling his many interests —photography, athletics and fitness, and music, among others— as high schoolers tend to do. Upon entering high school in the 2017-2018 school year he decided to follow in the footsteps of his father and do as he did in high school. Andre joined both the Van Nuys aquatics programs and the wresting team. Outside of school he enjoys competitive swimming, biking, and weight lifting. Documenting these sports that he was involved in were consequential to his love for photography to grow into full bloom. Now he takes photographs of anything, and everything including events and stories covered by The Mirror.
