Philadelphia Kids Portraits – Briana

The Boss — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:47:47 +0000

I need to catch up on my blog updates and what better way to start than with this fun filled kid portrait. She might look familiar to you (OK, she will not since she changed a bit between her last portrait session and now ) from her newborn portraits I did a few years back.

As every parent knows, with age comes personality. That’s how this session started. The answer to anything we said to her was a resounding “NO”.

Then her mom asked me: “Do you have Turn Me On by David Guetta and Nicki Minaj?” Sure … and we couldn’t stop her for an hour .. It seems that we have the same taste in music :)

I’m still smiling as I write this post. It was such a fun session (and even more special for me since it was the first in the new studio).

Easter – 2012

The Boss — Fri, 04 May 2012 17:36:33 +0000

I honestly don’t know what the connection is between the meaning of Easter and egg hunt. However, I’m sure the kids don’t mind it. And to top it off, my kids do it twice since my wife is Catholic and I am Greek Orthodox (although sometimes the dates do overlap). Every chance I get I still try to go back and use some film for my personal projects (sometimes I miss the workflow: just drop the film at the lab and be done). There is something about shooting film (especially with a medium format camera) that appeals to me. I didn’t develop the black and white film yet (I develop my own B&W film) and I will update this post when I get to it. For now, enjoy some color images :)

For the techies out there: Camera – Mamiya 645 AFDII; Film – Kodak Portra 160; Lens – 80mm

I’m usually behind the camera …
