my family photographer mersy tzimopoulou
welcome to 'my family photographer', a personal art venture to the wonderful and precious notion of Family.biofor the past six years i have been collaborating professionally with major greek magazines based in athens, photographing people from all walks of life, such as actors, musicians, politicians, entrepreneurs, athletes, everyday people and many more. samples of my editorial work can be seen in www.mersytzimopoulou.weebly.com portraiture is , without doubt, a great passion-turned-job in my life. my degree is a BA(hons) in Photography from the University of the Arts London.family photography came into my life recently and without any prior plan or intention. it came naturally with the birth of my daughter. she came as a muse to inspire me and show me the way to a new, exciting path in portrait photography.the more i photographed her , the more magic i felt, the kind of magic all these little angels have and spread all around like dust of gold. a new romance begun!it was not until i shared these photos with special friends, that i realised their value. they started spreading the word and giving photo session gifts to their married-with-kids friends and before i knew it, i was a family photographer! I thank them dearly for their faith and support and I promise to keep my standards really high as this project moves on.approachchildren express themselves through many incredible emotions and i’m interested in capturing all their moods and unique personality traits with patience, respect and a few laughs! part of my approach, is to make use of natural light as much as possible, but whenever needed, studio flashes are used with professional expertise. aimi would like to push the limits of commercial, full flash-on-the-face, ‘forced smiles’ children’s photography and fill the gap of the non-existing family photography tradition in greece. my goal, besides giving you a fun and enjoyable photo session, is to create and hand over to you precious family memories to have and to hold forever.i hope and look forward to exceed your expectations!kind regards,mersy
