New work for Harper's Bazaar Singapore 🌟

When I was returning from hiatus I was asked if I would do a story for Harper’s Bazaar Singapore’s 20th anniversary issue. I wanted to focus on personal work after the long break, but my first major editorial was with Harper’s Bazaar Singapore 13 years ago, so it felt like coming full circle, a nice sort of bookend to things. It was cool. Thank you Bazaar team for having me. ❤️‍🔥

Hello photographers, I am looking into purchasing an upgrade camera carry system but before I do I wanted to see if any of you have the product and what your opinions are if you do?

I'm looking to invest into the Spider Hip Holster SpiderPro Camera Carry System v2 as I think this setup will help reduce weight on my back after my surgery and help disperse that onto my hips which might be better for me.
I actually have the Cotton Carrier hip holster set up but the cameras can easily fall out if you bend down and considering the investments into our gear this was a poor design.

What abut the Spider ?
Thoughts?

4 Points of View in Photography Posted on December 9, 2014May 24, 2021 by Helen Kantilaftis In relation to photography, ‘point of view’ refers to the position the camera is in when viewing a scene. Are you laying on the ground, looking up at your subject? Are you flying in a helicopter, looking ...

NEW ARTICLE & INTERVIEW

Hey there!
Here is a little something I wanted to repost for you all.

I was updating a couple links and user profiles on my other social media and bumbled into memory lane and this fun podcast interview that I did pre "the Vid" with NEOMODERN
in January 2020

My interview is all about the realm of loving beautiful content of women that is often classified, categorized, or regarded as NSFW ! Hush now! I know you have so many comments, especially on the totally naughty yet normal subject of having a human body ;)

I have often been asked about this topic, watched curious eyes and curious responses, defended the differences between what is deemed artistic and what is po*******hy. I have been in this controversial conversation of art nudes on the internet and art nudes in general for years now, long before Facebook or any social media for that matter even existed! Yeah you read that right!

Have you given it a listen yet?
Maybe you didn't catch my past post. Maybe I didn't even remember to post it on FB because of restrictions. I can't even remember anymore.

So here is a lil invite from me to go check it out!
Careful this link leaves FB website and takes you to some NSFW content that NeoModern posted samples of some of my work:::

And I hope you enjoy the interview!

Be well 🥂

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

PS And if you wondering why I am calling it "the Vid" well it's because you need to watch Kevin Hart's 2020 Special on Netflix ROTF!

PS PS Oh and speaking of "The Vid"as in videos, I am considering doing more with my poor neglected YouTube channel coming up in the future. A lot of friends and clients have recommended that I really should, so perhaps that time is coming up.

There you go there's the latest from me, still working on health & recovery.
