Behind The Scenes of a commercial lifestyle photo shoot in Chania Crete, Greece

My journal

I was recently approached to commercially photo shoot for a new clothing company here in Chania, Crete Greece.

The newly formed company called Rice Above Fear is based in the UK and owned by a young Greek form Chania.

The company wanted a youthful photo shoot with a lifestyle approach. Just the kind of stuff I love.

The photo shoot was done in two parts. Day one in the studio for the products and day two outdoors around town by a lake and finally on the beach.

Putting together a good crew and models was essential. I always want to be efficient on set, but if we can’t have a good time in the process then why bother.

The result is good pictures and some pretty funny outtakes.

To view the final images make sure to visit Rise Above Fear.

Q & A with filming / editing mini workshop with cinematographer Hector Torra in Chania Crete, Greece.
A while back I had the chance to attend a workshop that helped change my perspective on some core personal and professional aspects in my photography.   Best of all I had a chance to make some good friends that I now also call part of my network. One of them is Hector Torra. A cinematographer from Spain with a spirit and humor similar to myself.   Hector and his girlfriend, the lovely Carolina came to Crete to visit the island and spend some time together. While here we had a chance to talk shop and try to find ways to potentially work together. In my opinion it is just a matter of time. In the mean while I asked Hect ...

New Year’s Day gestures from ancient Greece with a twist of local tradition
When the New Year arrives in Greece, and it is time to enter your house for the first time, a combination of traditions help bring good fortune to that home. Mainly smashing a pomegranate is the most accepted gesture to be performed at your doorstep. From ancient times in Greece, a pomegranate is regarded as the fruit of abundance, fertility, eternal life and luck. So you actually want the fruit to spread at and within your doorstep. A stone for stability and a foundation for the New Year beginning and an icon saint protector for spiritual protection. Followed by the cutting of the Vasilopita, these are some of the most known t ...

Why I supported TEDx Chania
To start with, I need to emphasise on how much every professional, in just about any field, has to find time and effort, and give back to the community they practice their business in, and not just expect to receive ALL THE TIME.   With this in mind I try to find and help with my profession, individuals or groups, that strive, work hard and have a vision. My job then is to help that vision become audio, visual, or both. I can either photograph, capture a film or simply guide in the best way that I have learned thus far. TEDx Chania approached me with the need of photographic coverage of their speakers. Being the low season of ...
