What Does 'Possibilities' Mean?
Is it a dream or is it reality?
A Japanese proverb says Possibilities means 'Too good to be true.'
At Infinite Possibilities, we believe otherwise. We believe in making dreams come true and giving them a stage to shine.
My name is Russel Andrey, and I am the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Photography at Infinite Possibilities.
What began as a dream became my mission and today, it's a global platform for aspiring models and artists who want to rise, shine, and break barriers.
(Chapter 1) My Story - From the Streets to the Studio
I was born into a life of hardship. Abandoned as a child, the streets of New York were my home. The sound of traffic was my music. Leftovers from restaurant dumpsters were my lunchbox. My only companions? The pigeons of the city.
At age 7, my life changed. I was adopted from St. Peter's Christ Home by a wonderful couple who gave me the greatest gifts of all: love, food, education, and family. They became my world.
But fate had other plans. I lost both my parents in one of New York's most catastrophic events. In an instant, everything slipped away again. I was almost back to where I began until my grandparents stepped in and sent me to Melbourne, Australia to continue my education.
I arrived in a new land at 8 years old, grieving, broken, and feeling like an alien in a foreign world. But Melbourne gave me a second chance.
It took me some time to adjust to the changes. Everything from the food and water to the accent, sports culture, and public rules that were the complete opposite of what I knew in New York. Thankfully, I was blessed with kind teachers, supportive counselors, and friends who welcomed me and helped shape the person I am today.
To this day, I still miss celebrating Christmas in the summer.
(Chapter 2) Emma: The Heart Behind the Lens
At school, I met Emma, a classmate who became my best friend and later, the love of my life.
Emma was from Arizona, United States. She had moved to Australia with her mom and older sister for her mom's job. Honestly, she was my survival guide to this upside-down world. She taught me that baseball and cricket are definitely not the same game, and that Australians write their dates backwards which, for the record, confused me every single time I checked a calendar.
She had a gift: Photography. She saw beauty in the smallest moments a man crossing the street, the wind in someone's hair.
I didn't understand it at first. I was often forced to be her assistant. But slowly, I fell in love with photography through her eyes.
In the summer of 2008, Emma returned to Arizona for the holidays. Before she left, she gave me her only camera and asked me to take care of it till she would return.
She never came back.
Emma passed away on December 23, 2008, after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
The only thing that kept me alive was her Camera. It almost felt like she knew I would need a reason to live in this world when she was gone and that camera would keep me going. It did work out, though I lost everything, all I had were her memories and I wanted to live in her memories so that I could remember her every day. Her camera became my purpose. Her memory became my fuel.
(Chapter 3) A Dream Becomes a Mission
With Emma's spirit guiding me, I finished high school in Australia and then moved to The United Kingdom to attain a degree in Photojournalism, Photography, and Understanding of Human Resources at University of Oxford, England.
During this time, I traveled across 74 countries, capturing lives, stories, and souls. Eventually, I started helping fashion models build their portfolios and confidence. I discovered that guiding young talent gave me joy and a sense of responsibility.
And so, in 2017, I founded Infinite Possibilities.
What started as a small venture is now an international agency, offering opportunity to aspiring models from every walk of life. It’s more than modeling it's about empowerment.
'Great photos are about the depth of feeling, not the depth of field', said Emma
