Landed European Campaign...
Now... this is my first post in the "Look At Me" forum... pretty cool. However... it sucks that I really can't show any pictures just yet, but here is the backstory: In 2007, I was commissioned to shoot the greek model Yanna Darilis for an editorial of two greek newspapers (including the US/Greek publication: Omikron) and a magazine never got the tearsheets tho...  This is one of the shots that got published back in 2007:  (The thumbnail leads to the actual photo) Yanna was also the host of the opening and closing ceremony of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens... Anyway... last week... out of the blue and six years later... I am getting a call and it was a blast from the past... Yanna was on the phone... wanting me to shoot "a few photos" for a Greek company..., it's a promo for that special fiber and in this case, a panty-hose using that micro-fiber. We shot last Saturday and the following is a screen shot of the LCD display on my camera... early in the shoot:  So... I started to learn more about that whole project, the client is a young, award winning Greek company, that is about to conquer the European market with a new microfiber and performance wear and will expand to the US next year... Anyway... because of Yanna's recommendation... and the resulting pictures (I am still editing the selected shots), they want me to shoot the entire campaign, including for the US market, for which I am supposed to work with a very prominent NFL player as well... So, I am pretty fucking excited about that, but apologize that I can't post anything yet, because they are getting in print on Friday and I can't release the shots until they are in the stores over there... Well... that's my first "look at me" post!  UPDATE: The first electronic tears are on page 2. Dec 11 13 08:57 pm Link Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing the tears when you can show them. -Don Dec 11 13 09:04 pm Link Awesome news Udor, congrats  Dec 11 13 09:06 pm Link Congratulations!

Dec 11 13 09:21 pm Link Amazing! Dec 11 13 09:34 pm Link Okay..., I may not keep this photo up for long... but, since this is one of the shots that was selected, and I made it only 640pxls on the long side... and not mentioning the company just yet... I'll post the edited version of the shot from the LCD screen for comparison... (not critique forum... just showing what was done!) Screen shot of the LCD display on my camera... early in the shoot: Edited and heavily reduced final image:  Dec 11 13 11:40 pm Link Congrats Udor!

Dec 13 13 12:51 pm Link Congratulations, great photos Dec 13 13 04:52 pm Link I'm delighted for you Udor. Well merited. Dec 14 13 05:57 am Link Thanks again! The shoot was for that panty hose she is wearing... and a few shoots were for a performance wear shirt... which is pretty cool. One or two of the shots will be in pharmacies and drugstores in Greece, advertising for that panty hose (it's for cellulite). I hope they will take a photo of the ad in a pharmacy and send that to me... that should be really cool... I had only shots in clothing boutiques for some of the smaller labels... but that pharmacy ad in an Athens pharmacy... that should be fun... Dec 14 13 04:06 pm Link Sometimes good things happen to good people - I am delighted for you, congratulations!! If you can post some of the images in the future, please do so Al the best, NumaelD.
