I'd say open up the aperture actually, to blur the background and make 
Andrew stand out more.  Increase the shutter speed to compensate for the 
increased aperture, then increase it further until the background is a bit 
darker.  Then use some flash to make Andrew appear at a satisfactory 
brightness.
