Andrews Photography, Model portfolio,


Nicole, Model shoot in Saint Paul. MN. Nicole braved the cold weather and did a few sets outside. We even did a set at the Blackdog cafe, we all bought a drink but they still didn't like us shooting in the cafe. Andrews Photography set up a glamour shot modified set up with a soft box and reflector. Rear light was warm gelled and balanced for the main light. We used a ring light for the wine background. Nicole will be back in a few months for her H.S. Senior Photos. Andrews Photography cant wait. She was a dynamo in front of the camera and had a winning smile. We should have her comp card up on the sight in a few days. please check back or check out the website for more examples.

Band Photos, keeping it fresh



Niobium wanted something dark and tribal. Maybe a bit forgotten. Well we turned a drap tight living room upside down and gave it new life. Andrews Photography armed with a tripod, camera and wink flash turned a living room into a lava pit. the faces pop and ther is no shortage of darkness. Here is a bit more about the band and its members.

Kirkland James - Guitar/Vox
Justice Draconis - Didgeridoo/Keys/Vox
Dewza - Drums
Dr. Rossi Pfishopilis - Bass
Adm Bmb - Guitar/Vox

With a powerful blend of modern melodic rock, tribal grooves, and esoteric concepts channeled through a chaotic labyrinth of off-time signatures and twisted musical theory, Niobium delivers an aural audio experience unrivaled by peers.

Conceived in early 2004 by Justice and Kirkland, a new kind of entity was envisioned - One encompassing analysis of life, driven by the evolution of consciousness, represented by a sound created by none other, and supported by a tight-knit tribal brotherhood of fans where anyone is welcomed with open arms. Niobium is the result of these multi-faceted efforts to bring capable beings to the forefront of creative society, to induce change, and attempt to take the world by storm, giving human beings everywhere something pure, something good, and something different.

Niobium's stage show is versatile and never disappoints; Employing the use of live performers, visual projections, costuming and face paint, combined with explosive energy and unconventional technique, Niobium presents spectators with an all-encompassing 'experience' that could not be limited to classification as just a 'show'.

As the fragments fit together, and all the minds line up eager for substance, you will find Niobium more often in venues all around the world as people from every facet of life find themselves already a part of the Tribe.

If you are looking for some headshots, band coverage, band promo shots from the far out, to just simply "HERE I AM" drop us a line, 651.292.9242 Andrews Photography located in down town Saint Paul. Dont forget about the Saint paul art crawl in April. The tilnser building rocks with 48 Artists strong.

Andrews-Photography, photos by Rod Andrew

Driving yesterday to a photo shoot and I saw these work cranes. The symmetry was mesmerizing I had to turn around and grab a photo. Light, repetition and bold color. The cranes looked like they were on break, talking over coffee, waiting for the next job. Maybe pondering why they have no work, one looks a bid sad. Everyone has there passion and loves. "Always strive to be better, never settle".

Babies first Birthday, She didnt like the cake

Hi folks, Rod here I got a chance to capture a few great images of one cool kid this weekend on location. Please watch the video, sorry about the bad crop but just had to set the camera on the floor for this take.


Watch out world Bridget tuned one and she does not like cake. Maybe after her party she will be more inclined to like cake. The day was great and Bridget was fantastic she was laughing and playing around. she loves her butterfly and balloons. when her mom blew bubbles she made a few faces. Its pretty cool watching kids find out about life right before your eyes. I wonder if she will remember The portrait sessions. I think back to when I was young and my mom brought us in for a portrait session. All I wanted to do was play with a ball and throw my sisters shoes across the room. I think I was 5 and my sister was 4, I still have that 8x10. My sister with one shoe on and me with a little grin. It was the last time we saw that photographer.
