Oh, my heart! I lost my dad in 2001, and while he wasn't a pro like your INCREDIBLY talented father, he definitely had a knack for photography, and gave me my first camera when I was a teen. This was an amazingly beautiful tribute to him, dear lady.
GOT THE LOVE ahahahaha :D
You and your gifs always making me smile !!! :)))
What camera did you Dad give you?
Thanks for your kind words - I really tried my best for his 10year anniversary. I want this to exist online forever <3
I'm so glad!
My dad gave me a Nikon, which is why I'll always come down on the side of Nikon in any camera war...LOL
You're very welcome, and what an awesome idea! I may have to do something like this myself on the blockchain (already did on my WP blog). hugs
Wow! What an amazing man, and amazing work. RIP to a great photographer. This story really touched me because I'm a fellow freelance photographer, and I have a daughter who I don't think realizes how famous I am localy. Anyway, those images were absolutely stunning! He was gone too soon, I imagine the work he could have done if given the opportunity to continue but I guess he's in heaven now creating divine images for Angels.
Stay strong and keep making him proud - Much Love - Lionel
Awwww you are so sweet ..... thank you for that...... <3
Well, he did have a 30year career [let alone another 20 with my grandpa before that] to show, but he definitely had more to give, especially with the nee technology he was always much into... oh well :(
I hope your daughter realizes it soon and gets in the business with you. I did the mistake of not having him as a teacher [even though he would be super strict and with no patience ahaha] and instead other people taught me phography, BUT I was always observing, so I think being in a studio -and a dark room- since I was 4, I guess left something in me for sure!!!
HUGS <3
Oh he's good Loop...but genes don't make you, it's the talent and the eye. He knew you've love him as much, more so when he left. Even now.
I can go with him to Phil Collin's or Toto's😍😍
Brief but to the point hehehe !!! Thank you @giantbear !!! I think I might write some photography guide/s soon to share as steemiteducation - I always keep it in mind but I end up writing about different stuff instead :/
I'm sorry to hear you had to lose your father at such a young age. Heartbreaking really. It is amazing how our loved ones influence us though. It's a gift you have his blood in your body <3
I love the parts of his work where he plays the most with shapes, like the pictures of Tzeni Mpalatsinou, Kariofyllia Karampeti, and Elena Kountoura. They really attracted my eye :-)
That is a very kind thing to say, even though I think I don't even have one tenth of his talent and of course cannot compare my experience to his... But he always saw that something in me, so maybe he was right after all! :)
What a beautiful tribute. I am so sorry that you lost your beloved Dad too soon. He was clearly a talented and passionate man that anyone would be lucky to look up to.
As a photographer he clearly understood how to convey his subject's personality in a clean, striking portrait. Amazing work. What a legacy to leave behind!
I am loving your blog. Cheers!
Thank you deary!
He was exceptional indeed - he knew how to properly use the light and for him the most important part as he was always saying was the 'form' - the 'shape'. Some of his photos I still have no idea how he managed... <3
Thank you for passing by and liking this post! :)
It was cool yes! Having met the creme de la creme of singers, actors and politicians was pretty awesome!!! But even then, as I mentioned on the post, I never realized the extent of all this !!!
I DO have his eyes!!! I was practically his copy :D I do look like my mom too though... her smile ;) But yeah, most people, just like you, say that. Even though, those who knew/know both my parents get confused ahahahaha :D
Thank you ....!
Well, my Dad was a lot into technology - he was the first photographer in Greece to use a lot of it. He also loved phone pictures and at the time he was into Sony Ericssons. He had a mac but not an iPhone, I am pretty sure though that he would have an iPhone now and probably X taking amazing pictures when not at work :D
Wow, this post really touched me. I lost my mom 3 years ago, and since then I haven't been able to grab an instrument again (she was a music teacher and opera singer) So I understand how much you miss him. On the other hand, I admire how you continued his work, big shoes to fill in. I would have been overwhelmed being the daughter of such an important photographer and being a photographer myself. So you should be totally proud of yourself. Beutiful post full of emotions, it must have been hard to write every single line. Big steem hug for you all the way from Venezuela!
My dear Gaby,
Then you know how it feels...
I started photography exactly when I lost him, as a tribute, to show him wherever he was that I care!
Maybe I should have done sooner but oh well...
It was overwhelming, that's why I left Greece. Because after he died everyone was expecting from me, the newbie, with some years of experience to be HIM - well, clearly I couldn't... Thank you, but I think I still have a loooong way to even get close to what he was doing/creating...
And yes - oh how well you get me!!! - it was hard to write but I simply had to!!!!
Big kiss !!! :*
How proud you must feel💜 Such an amazing person, your dad! And such a talented photographer. This post is filled with love and some sadness but also so much proudness! I'm sorry for your loss, I can only imagine the feelings when you got that call.
Still he is with you, after ten years he still lives and shine in you, this post is a beautiful tribute to an amazing man💜
Thank you girl <3
And yes, I am indeed very proud !!!! And I really hope he knew that - yeah, I believe he did...
I'll never get to where he was, but I can always point at him and say 'hey, HE was my DAD' :D <3
Hugs :*
Such a talent your father was! His photos are so alive and really express something essential about each public figure.
I loved also seeing photos of the two of you, of your parents together - you are such a mix of both of them! It was like first when I saw your father I thought you look so much like him but then your mother and I think how much you look like her too.
You loved your father so much and this post is a beautiful tribute to him!
Thank you sweetie <3 I always thought that's normal but when I started growing up and I was seeing other portraits around I could tell the difference...even between my Dad and my uncle ;) To this day I can recognize if a picture is my Dad's :)
I haven't posted my mom yet, but I might SOON :D I don't think you've seen her...have you? Maybe! Have I posted and it slipped my mind?? We do look a lot alike as well, true!
I really hope, wherever he is, he likes this tribute, yeah... <3

I really hope he did know...
I do believe that they do...and did while alive. Our guilt make us think that they didn't. Let go Loop, he knew. Be forgiving to yourself too☺
These shots are amazing. He must have been an exceptional photographer. I am so sorry for your loss @meanmommy33 :(
He was... :/
It's ok, it's been a while by now... But still, it's not something you forget...You just get used to it and live with the idea... :(
Beautiful photos and a very touching post, thank you for sharing x
Thank you girl :)
Wow!:)

Thank you girl :) Indeed it was heartbreaking :/
It seems like we have the same eye hehe 'cause Mpalatsinou's pic is my very favorite! :D
Ha, that's amazing! <3
Wow. Incredibly touching tribute. 💓 I can see the trail of talent. Your father and now you. He lives on in every photo you take in the best way.
That is a very kind thing to say, even though I think I don't even have one tenth of his talent and of course cannot compare my experience to his... But he always saw that something in me, so maybe he was right after all! :)

Ti adoro per aver fatto questo post! Grazie
Grazie a te tesoro...
Tu puoi capire come era difficile a scrivere... <3
It must have been cool to have a famous dad.
And your eyes are the same as his, or at least they look very similar to me! Although I suppose you have already hear this.
Great pics by the way, he was clearly talented.
What would have been his opinion about the iPhone X and the studio like pics it takes?
It was cool yes! Having met the creme de la creme of singers, actors and politicians was pretty awesome!!! But even then, as I mentioned on the post, I never realized the extent of all this !!!
I DO have his eyes!!! I was practically his copy :D I do look like my mom too though... her smile ;) But yeah, most people, just like you, say that. Even though, those who knew/know both my parents get confused ahahahaha :D
