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.
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.
Recently, I developed a portfolio with photos dedicated to Kanata, a suburb of Ottawa. You can find out more here.
Lastly, 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.
