AthensDimitrios VastarouchasInterior Dynamics 42 Dodonis str 17563 Palaio Faliro Athens Athens Greece tel:- 0030 210 9836148 mobile:- 0030693 7002669 web address:- e-mail:- Dimitrios Vastarouchas Specialist Photographer for :- Portrait photography Type business: Semi Professional My photographic style: Cultural, artistic My greatest strengths: Technical knowledge, equipment, possibility to travel worldwide, my own studio I have been in photography: Since 2000 How I got started in photography: In 1995 I joined a shipping company and used to travel very often in order to carry out inspections, surveys etc. That time I came in contact with many people & cultures and realized that I wanted to keep these icons for ever. In 2000, while I was in Korea for a new building project, I attended courses via Internet and bought my first serious equipment. My photographic skills: As concerns photography, I have experimented with lighting and I am very strict with human expressions. I am not impressed easily, the opposite happens, it is very difficult to accept a photo. I do not know if this is good or bad. Anyhow, I have also the physical strength to attend an expedition. My personality: Adventurous, consistent & enthusiastic. However, I need challenges. Two reasons that I am not full time professional: 1. I can not repeat the same things e.g. wedding, common portraits, usual architecture, ordinary wildlife etc. I am looking for challenges in all fields 2. Time. My main work is too demanding and it is not easy to allocate time as I wise. It should be a good challenge to do so Geographic areas I cover: If there is an interest, all the world Venues I frequently attend: From my studio to the dessert, it depends from the subject. I can not attend ordinary meetings & conferences; I have plenty in my work, so me mercy!! I found inspiration from: First of all a face or body expression. I adore theatrical scenes in studio and authentic scenes outdoors. At next, a colourful landscape or an attractive building Success in photography: I am not involved with competitions. I send some photos in the past to SWPP only and three times my photos published in Image Maker. Photographic training: Mainly, NYC Institute courses via internet, seminars etc My interests outside photography: I am going to publish my first novel within next 3 months. Beyond my job (I am Deputy COO and Technical Director in a big shipping company), I like travelling, sports (extreme sometimes), theatre and most of all my studies with History of Arts Major events: As I mentioned above, I study History of Arts, specifically I attend annual courses from various colleges and workshops, and same time I try to travel in Europe to see masterpieces and Art Work. Of course, due to my job, I visit Asia and other places often for deals etc. My wife is interior designer, so we often have the chance to discuss about architecture & colour, taking photos from her projects which is quite interesting Testimonials: I could say positive Why I like the SWPP: You are well organized, covering fields of interest. You provide the opportunity for further improvement, participation in competitions, an excellent magazine and experience feedback exchange through annual conference, forum & interest articles Tagline: Challenge me. What is difficult to be done? I will do it Future plans: When I will feel ready & satisfied from my photos, I would like to exhibit my work. I also have an idea to combine photography with poetry. A kind of book that would have photos with strong expressions and text or poem to describe what I feel looking at this And finnally: Only to thank you for your good efforts Glamour Architectural Landscape photos Fine art images Art Exteriors Interiors More Photographers around Athens Photographers in Athens There are 333 days to get ready for the SWPP Convention and Trade Show at The Hilton London Metropole Hotel ...
