    Photography was never a hobby for me. It was always a passion, my career and my work.

    Konstantinos Tsigkrelis is available for private bookings

    Available most Saturdays morning. For any other day pr time we can talk about my availability and maybe something can be arranged.
    I can do private tutoring about any subject around photography or even video production, and photography editing of any kind.
    Other sessions that I do is portraits of any kind, from the simplest professional headshot and beyond. The sky is the limit.

    On a rare warm day at the beginning of the month of March on my way back to my car after capturing a very few photos of birds (I guess it was still to cold for birds to fly back to this area) I was rewarded with this shot of these two trying to get each other attention.

    Title or Location: Ellis Square, Savannah, GA
    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    Title or Location: Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, UK
    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through

Engine 9350 is a Diesel/Electric Locomotive which was built in February 2012 by General Electric and produces 4400HP which is capable to propel it to a top speed of 75mph. I love to photograph trains whenever I get a chance. To me they are iconic.
