I think I will start posting again, considering i havent posted anything in three months.
Here is a good way to start blogging again. I was published in a Greek Magazine! The magazine is called 'NITRO' and it's the equivalent to Maxim magazine in North America. It sells 35,000 copies a month and is the No.1 Magazine of its kind in Greece. I was asked to photograph my sister, Tess Spentzos, for an article about her acting career. Originally Nitro Magazine wanted to do the shoot but seeing as my sister was not in Greece, the job was up to me to deliver a few magazine worthy images.
The shoot took a while because I wanted to make sure I get the right shots for the job. As you can see from the pictures, I used a lot of the studio's accessories to create different backgrounds, for example the picture with the black and white dress I put two tables together and used the belly of the tables as a background! This also gave it a backstage movie set vibe, which fit in perfect with the article. After a long and tiring shoot, we called a wrap and post-production took effect. Not too much digital imaging was necessary for the shots. This project happened to take place at the same time I was preparing my Preliminary Portfolio for review. It's a small taste of what the real world of photography will taste like, bitter but sweet!
After looking at the pictures, the editor of 'Nitro Magazine' loved them so instead of a two-page spread, they turned it into a three-page spread. If you have a copy of the January issue of 'Nitro' magazine the article is on pages 62-64, or else check it out right here!
