Jeffrey Andersen Photography San Diego is happy to welcome

Rosemarie Mariani!!

Today 2photography welcomes the beautiful Rosemarie Mariani to the team!

Rosemarie or “Rosie” as I like to call her got her first lesson in the photographic arts yesterday and she is a natural. She will soon supersede me and then start on her plans for world domination.

Rosie said she wanted to learn photography and start assisting me at weddings, so I happily accepted the challenge (which turned out to be no challenge at all) Rosie was very quick to pick up on techniques and showed great creative promise.

We started by walking from little Italy to the waterfront. Rosie took some impressive pictures of some cars.

I then explained the idea behind depth of field and composition and she took to it like a pro. Rosie got come great shots of a cruise ship.

We got some lunch at a Greek cafe in Seaport Village and snapped this photo while waiting for our food.

Now here is something to know about Rosie. SHE LOVES GOOD FOOD! I had to capitalise that because it’s so very true. The way to her heart is defiantly though crab cakes and a decadent dessert!

We finished up our Greek and started to head back. Rosie got some cool pics of the sky and some buildings.

We found a great little spot by an abandoned warehouse to shoot some portraits. We took turns shooting each other and I taught Rosie some model poses and techniques.

We decided that we wanted to take some pictures of the sunset, so we walked back to my house and changed into some clean clothes.

At 6:30 we headed to blacks beach to photograph the sunset and some surfers. Rosie was jealous of them, because the surf was perfect yesterday and she is an avid surfer.

We snapped some shots of the sunset and I made Rosie pose for some cute beach pictures. She also got a great silhouette of me. The sunset was so beautiful.

That concludes Rosie’s induction day and I think she will be a great addition to 2 Photography.

Another set of headshots for Jonathan Wilcox

April 17, 2008

I did a second set of Headshots for Jonathan Wilcox this afternoon. Jon decided to grow out his awesome man beard and do a second session with a little more scruff. I told him I think he looks like Jack form “Lost” Jonathan is represented by the Shamon Freitas Agency

Here are before and after beard pics to enjoy.

Second Shoot

San Diego Chargers Tryouts

April 15, 2008

 

Earlier this month I was contacted by Jenn. She needed to do a shoot for her application for the San Diego Chargers. She wanted to do some beach attire and a couple of studio shots.

We decided to start in Ocean Beach at a little hidden cove I know of. Matt Odgers, a good friend of mine came along for the shoot. Matt is a new photography enthusiast. He just got himself a Canon 40D and was excited to use it. Matt works at a Law firm full time and at the Bitter End Bar as a doorman on the weekends.

Jenn was late for the shoot, because she got caught up at Mac. (I don’t recommend that you have your make up done at Mac, they tend to go a little over the top with cover up and always take way too long.) If you can have a friend do it it’s better (as long as your friend knows what he/she is doing).

We got some great shots at the cove and headed out to the studio. I went with the yellow back drop for Jenn and it looked great with her skin tone. We finished up outside on this funky old beetle that happened to be parked outside the studio.

Jenn submitted her app on Sunday and we are waiting on the results…

.GOOD LUCK JENN!!!

 



 

Jeffrey Andersen got new headshots!!!

April 8, 2008

Visit My Site www.2photography.net

It’s been almost 5 years since I had anyone take my picture for headshots, but since I am updating my websites I decided to do it. Josh and I hit the mean streets of Little Italy and found some cool locations to shoot. Josh is becoming quite the natural and will soon leave me in the dust for fame and glory… 300 style!

I did some touch ups to the photos and they are now ready for viewing. ENJOY!

Laugh comedy in San Diego headshots

April 7, 2008

 

I had the pleasure recently of shooting headshots for comedian and new friend Klaus Biegler. I first met Klaus through Kurt Braun a local Art Director. Kurt hired me to shoot a comedy show at Heneses bar one evening. Klaus had hired Kurt and crew to video the event.

Weeks went by and out of the blue I got a call from Klaus. He said, in his German accent “Jeff its Klaus, how spontaneous are you feeling?” with which I replied jokingly  ”Well Klaus, it depends on how much my spontaneity pays?”

The next day we got together at Kluas’s apartment he fed me a redbull and we hit the streets to shoot his headshots. We had a blast and Klaus was fun to work with.

He is putting on another comedy show on June 14th at 4th & B. Proceeds benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Where partying meets charity.  Laugh your butt off and feel like a saint Here is the link to his website.

Defiantly check out this show!

 

 

I’m offering headshot photography in los angeles

April 4, 2008

Well….here it is! everyone said I had to start blogging, that the coolest of the cool blog and I wouldn’t be cool if I didn’t.

I’m going to start by saying, “I will do my best to spell check every blog before it is posted”, however I am the worst speller this side of …… umm… well just everywhere.  So there it is, my big disclaimer about my horrific spelling.
I guess the big new news is my new website. It has been completely revamped and is ready for viewing. I went with a more simple design this time and one that would have a larger gallery to show off my spectacular work (shameless self promotion) ;)
Also… Jeffrey Andersen Photography is now going to be offering head shots in L.A. We will be spending a lot more time up there in the next few months, so here we come…set your dates and get ready to look fabulous! (I never use the word fabulous, but I think the L.A is rubbing off already)
Till next blog
Jeffrey
