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.

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 ...
