My name is Kostas and I have a background in Physics. I have always been fascinated by nature's stunning beauty. Since I moved to Ottawa I got more involved with photography. I undertook several part-time courses at the School of the Photographic Arts (SPAO).
My photographic interests are all sort of -scapes; landscapes, cityscapes, nightscapes, seascapes. However, I am also trying to improve my environmental portraiture skills. Photography is an adventure after all; a quest to capture unique moments in time.
Recently, I have initiated three dedicated projects. The first, entitled 'Displaced Reality', intents to provoke an evocative response and force us to experience reality from a different perspective. The second, entitled 'Keep Walking', is about people walking around to an unknown destination, with a single purpose or thought that is unknown to us. There is some overlap between the two projects; however, the intent is to evoke different emotions. The third, entitled 'Adamski Effect', allows me to explore the Adamski Effect, which uses blur techniques to create the illusion of movement.
My photographic gear consists of two cameras and several lenses, including fast zooms, primes and Lensbaby. I also use several off-camera flashes and modifiers, which can be used in my small home studio for portraiture and still life or on location.
