Abstract photography involves capturing a subject in a way that renders it either partially or completely unrecognizable, emphasizing instead on the interplay of shapes, colors, and form.

In this workshop, we will explore the art of creating striking and thought-provoking images through the use of abstraction.

Our experienced instructor will guide you through the process of understanding and applying the principles of abstract photography, including composition, color, and texture. We will cover topics such as finding inspiration in everyday objects, experimenting with different angles and perspectives.

    I was born and raised in beautiful Thessaloniki Greece in 1973, a city in Northern Greece right in the heart of the ancient land of Macedonia. My hometown is a hub for arts and honestly, a perfect place for a young photographer.
    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.

    I took a photography road trip across NY State in mid October to capture the fall foliage. Along the way I stopped at the Belhurst Castle and Winery on Seneca Lake. I knew the pier would be a perfect opportunity to capture a fine art image.

    Right after a terrific storm, we went outside to see if any damage had been done to the waterfront and were amazed to see the clear lights of the city with a bright moon shining overhead. The peaceful, calm water made it look like not a drop of rain had fallen.

    This cheetah is one of two brothers we sighted roaming Vuyani Reserve during a game ride in 2018. The handheld image is from a Canon 5D4 with a 150-600 telephoto lense and was taken from the back seat of an open top range vehicle. The intense stare from those orange eyes os captivating.
