Athens photo-session

What many people ask for when visiting Greece is an Athens photo-session! Many times, that is combined with another session at the Greek island-s or you can find the island in…Athens 🙂 Like the examples bellow

Proposal in Athens

More and more people decide to make a proposal, surprise or not, engagement, elopements and other events in Athens.

Methods and techniques on doing a proposal

Most people believe that the best method is to have a photographer capturing the moment as a paparazzi, hidden somewhere and using a telephoto lens.

Well, that is not the ideal way to photograph a secret proposal! There are other ways to photograph (even to shoot video) a surprise proposal and capture from a close distance authentic feelings, expressions….the moment! Without of course the other half getting suspicious!

PHOTO TOUR 

Athens photo-session could also be described as a walking photo tour. This is a service I offer and there are some variations mainly based on the time length.

Time is always important as there is a continues battle of time vs quality (and quantity)!

Black and white

Black and white format has its own aesthetic and style and matches perfectly with Athens city aesthetics and style.

For that reason, the deliverance includes the photographs also in black and white format apart from the colored ones (therefore each file x 2 times).

When the booking occurs through an agency, the black and white pictures can be purchased separately.

Classic Athens

A city so rich in history, offers ancient and recent historical photography backgrounds (when I say recent, I mean 200+ years).

Everything is within walking distance in the city center.

Solo portraits and family

Solo portraits are included almost every time as part of any photo session on any occasion. Although professional session is not allowed in archaeological sites, there are always buildings that resemble or even copy the ancient architecture and are accessible…you just have to know where they are 🙂
