04.27.12 Alter Ego – Portrait Series Pt. 1

Alter Ego : n

1. a second self:

2. a trusted friend

3. the opposite side of a personality

I have never been one to voluntarily step in front of a camera.  That’s probably why I am a photographer and not the other way around.  I generally don’t like to draw attention to myself, and prefer to be the viewer rather than the entertainment.  I dress fairly conservatively, and when I wear makeup, its nothing too crazy.  I am shy.  I always have been since I was a little kid.  Being put into new situations with people I don’t know, frankly, causes so much anxiety that my stomach starts turning.  But, all that being said, I have an other side of myself.  She isn’t shy, she wears bright crazy makeup, and loves being the center of attention.  You can say that she is my Alter Ego.   My total opposite.

This has been and idea that I has been floating around in my head for a while.  This Self Portrait is part one of a  new portrait series that I am exploring.  I figured who better to start this off with than myself.  Everybody has an Alter Ego, not just Superman.   I am also looking for more people that would like to participate, women and men.  If your alter ego is a repressed fashion model, a super hero, a villain, a rock-star, or anything else, all are welcome. It’s an amazing way to see yourself in a new way, and to explore the side of you that rarely is seen.  If anyone is interested in please contact me by leaving a comment or contacting me through my contact page, Facebook, however.

04.18.12 Liz & Trevor at Great Falls

It was an usually warm day this past Sunday when I met Liz and Trevor for their engagement session at Great Falls.  With the temperature pushing close to 90, it  felt more like a day in July than it did in April.   Along with Liz and Trevor came their dog Sprocket and their two bikes.  Even though Sprocket was more interested in taking a dip in the water (who can blame him) than taking pictures he was a good sport and cooperated.  He even ran alongside Trevor while he was biking.  Liz even learned to rock climb in heals, which I’m sure is something she didn’t think she would ever get a chance to do.  Even though the day was hot and at times was accompanied by too many gnats, we still managed to have a good time and take some great images.  Here are some highlights from the day.

04.05.12 A Jewish Wedding in Gaithersburg

Last Sunday I  had the opportunity to shoot a Jewish wedding for the very first time.  I was told the experience was going to be much like a Greek wedding, and since I’m Greek and know how lively a Greek wedding could be I knew I was in for a fun time.  The wedding took place at the Hilton in Gaithersburg, and the day was filled with tradition, lively dancing, much joy and celebration.
