I’d like to introduce you to Andy Kostek.
Andy is a musician currently based in Ireland, and flew over to see me last week looking for some portfolio photos for his website and general promotions. The brief started out as a simple headshots exercise… but as you’ll see from the pictures we ended up getting a little more than that..!
Want to see some? Here we are then, take a look at this…
Like that? Great! Let’s look at another one…
Andy was a great subject to photograph. Both he and I are passionate about what we do, and this led to a great photo session for a Saturday afternoon. We soon managed to over-run on our planned session time, but when you’re “in the groove”… these things just have to be done 😉
One more “Guitar Hero” shot for you before we move onto more traditional things…
Those shots were a blast to do, and made fantastic use of my most recent little gizmo – a portable smoke machine! This was the first time I’d used this cool little gadget so I was a little unsure what to expect – but with a little advice from Andy who’s more familiar with such things, we were soon up and running.
So hands up who thought the shots above were shot on stage then??? Nope. All shot in my tiny little front-room studio. A little bizarre? Perhaps. Does it work? I think so 🙂
Naturally, we got other shots too. Here’s a more sedate one for you.

More?
And finally, a “headshot” for you…
Andy is a great guy, really into his music and was kind enough to leave me a copy of his CD “One by One” which has been described as “A fusion of acoustic, blues and soft rock with a difference”.
I love guitar orientated music, so this was right up my street – some really class playing on there. You can check out Andy’s music for yourself by visiting his webpage at myspace:
Thanks for a really fun session Andy. Your full galleries will soon be available online here:

Do feel free to leave your comments, I’d love to hear them.
All the best,
Rob.
