Eleytheria Deco for Kappa Magazine

In this portrait photography I was pleased to meet and work with one of my favourite greek artists, the lighting designer Eleytheria Deco. I knew Eletheria's Deco work since 2004 when she awarded with EMI award for the light design of the Olympic Games ceremony "Athens 2004 Olympics".

Since then and due to our common interest, "light" ("phos", greek word for light and first synthetic work for photo-graphy) , I have been watching her works with great interest. She has an open field of design like theaters, festivals, museums, public spaces, events and architectural lighting projects. The special thing with her works is that sometimes it is like she has a signature and gives you a feeling that you can identify her aesthetic.

Her recent work was the light design of Acropolis. The new lighting will highlight nine points of the ancient monument: the Acropolis hill, the walls, the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, the Theater of Dionysus, the Stoa of Eumenes and the Sanctuary of Dionysus. As the Culture Ministry underlines, for the first time the choragic monument of Thrasyllos, the Asklepieion of Athens, the caves of Apollo and Aglauros, and the Sanctuary of Aphrodite, will all be illuminated.

It was great pleasure of meeting and work with her for this portrait season for her interview in Kappa Magazine of Kathimerini newspaper. Her portraits published on 19-12-2020.

Oinoxoos_wine_cover_by_portrait_photographer_athens_greece_advertising_commercial_Dimitris_Vlaikos

Oinoxoos After Quarantine Cover

The greek magazine "Oinochoos" about the Greek wine and wine culture, first cover after quarantine days. The idea was a cover of showing our common emotions due of the quarantine days and the step by step come back of us in normality. Over all comes the role of wine in the greek culture and economy.

In this magazine cover I used portrait photography and a dystopic scenery as backround to capture the different forms and emotions of human beings on the five magazine editors to describe balance - independence - the next unknown step - stability - social distancing. A look to the future, ours and the Greek wine from the ancient times to the present day, is a cornerstone of our culture, tradition and prosperity.

Dear editors of "Oinochoos" magazine thank you from the bottom of my heart for your cooperation and trust for this cover.

Headshot Portrait Photographer Athens FAQ

What is a headshot?

A headshot is a modern portrait where the focus is on the person. The term is usually applied for professional profile images on social media, the 'about us page' or a corporate website and promotional pictures of actorsmodels, and authors.

What you get

A basic season includes 2 different looks and one hour of photoshoot. After that you will get all the photos in low resolution so you can select your 3 favourites photos that you would like me to retouch. Finally you get three high resolution edited photos with full rights of use.

How many looks should I have to choose?

The ideal is to go for 3 different looks in your suitcase so we can choose the 2 that are fits better with your headshoot needs.

What can I do to have the best Headshot I can?

  • Prepare your outfits, plan hair styling and makeup in advance.
  • Rest well and avoid stress.
  • Keep a reasonable and achievable expectation. 
  • Trust yourself and your portrait photographer. 

Can we also take a headshot on location?

Yes, we can do the headshot at your place. With the extra cost of transfer if its more than 15 klms away from the center of Athens.

 

Where your Studio is?

Should we arrange a meeting before the photoshoot

Meeting it is not necessary. We should only arrange a meeting about the date and the time of the photoshoot.
