About Me
Eric K. Andersen is one of the top concert photographers in the New York, New Jersey area. Well, maybe not but whose to say? Art is subjective.
I’ve been to a lot of concerts. A lot of great ones. The Clash, Queen, U2, New Order, Aerosmith, The Who and The Cure to name just a few of the hundreds of shows I’ve attended. And all I have to remember them by are the ticket stubs. Come the digital age, and it became much easier to document events. First with a poor quality image or video from a phone camera and then from better quality point and shoot cameras. Not happy with blurry phone camera images, I invested in an excellent quality FujiFilm X100F point & shoot camera. Soon I upgraded to an interchangeable lens FujiFilm XT-30. The images on this site represent the memories I have been able to collect using these tools.
Video Projects from the past…
While working at PolyGram Records as an associate producer in the music video production department in the late 80’s, we were finishing up a project entitled “KISS – eXposed” and I had an idea. I found my old 45 rpm for “Rock and Roll All Nite”, brought it in to the office and transferred the sound to a 3/4″ tape. I began editing a music video using the footage from the program and showed it to my boss who suggested I show it to the head of video promotion. They both liked the idea so I completed this edit that aired on MTV. Some trivia: Paul Stanley ends every concert by shouting “we love you!” The version on the record did not have that exclamation. We added it to the video.
