I’M KOSTAS
YOUR DESIRE FOR UNIQUE MOMENTS IS MY STORYTELLING PROCESS
Since I started photography I had a goal – deliver unique results. Photography is all about creativity and imagination. You have to imagine the result and be creative enough to make an “Wow” image. This hunt for uniqueness is endless and I’m totally happy! It’s what makes an artist different and keeps him alive.
CREATING ENDLESS MEMORIES
I am into photography business since I was 18. The college and especially History of Arts was a big inspiration for me. Soon, I realised that I could carry a special tool all the time. This tool was a camera. A camera is the only tool that can stop the time. That intrigued me so much and I made the decision to use this tool to tell stories. Stories that will last. So I studied the art of photography and chose to dedicate my life on it.

Real questions that define my personality
01.
What you love to shoot?
That’s a complicated question. Many will tell one or two genres of photography. I have a different mindset about photography genres. A photographer shouldn’t be restricted on one or two genres of photography. He or she should follow their instincts and shoot what makes them feel alive. A complete photographer is someone who has mastered the light, the various techniques and is being educated continuously. This man can shoot everything : Weddings, Commercial, Fashion, Reportage etc. I chose this difficult way but I prefer to be as complete as I can be and accomplish every task I’m facing. Having said that my main genres are Wedding photography, Family photography and commercial.
02.
Photographer or problem – solver?
Photography is a really difficult profession. I use to compare it to Haute cuisine. Just like in a cuisine a chef and his/her team will face hundreds of problems during a busy night, photography is no different than that. Especially for wedding photography that is a genre full of unexpected events. The wedding photographer must be a problem solving man who takes immediate and decisive actions in order to achieve the best result. Time is always against us. So we have to deal with that through our decisions. The couple has to trust the man behind the lens and be completely unaware of anything that might occur during their big day.
03.
What wedding photography means for you?
Responsibility and promise. Wedding photography is based on a promise – that I will capture with a storytelling way your wedding day. My biggest responsibility is to achieve unique results that will last forever. Wedding is an event that happens once and you must be prepared to do your best as a wedding photographer because you don’t have a second chance to fix something. There is no room for mistakes. Time flies and memories fade. A piece of paper, a printed photograph can travel you back in time and feel again everything. I want you to be sure that it will be an awesome one!
