Catching up. What happened…

Written By Niko Gkotsis

Let’s catch up:

Lets begin by saying that we are all in good health.

I am very grateful for this and our full of love life!

This year so far had a few surprises for me. Good and bad, new things and same routines. Improovements and also dramatic changes.

I wanna start with the bad news.


Yea… my baby boy passed away. It was sudden , intense and horrible. It started as a cold and it progressively gotten worse into pneumonia. We did all we could but he was really suffering. We had to take the hardest choice in our lives and help him rest.

It was really hard for me to move forward.

I miss him terribly but i visit his resting place every day.
I really wanna go deep into this and write about my emotions but I feel like its gonna trigger some stuff and I prefer to keep it brief. Im sorry. :(

After a few weeks of this very traumatic time in our lives we traveled to Greece for our vaccation to see my family.


it was a trip full of rest, good food, traditions, bonding, amazing small day trips to see wonderful places that are truly hidden gems!
I was during orthodox easter so the mood was very family and customs oriented!
A lost of nostalgia, memorable family moments and lots of resting and great coffee!!!

Now we are back and its been a month since that trip.

We are preparing for a hot Texas summer and we are back in schedule as far as creating leather projects, photography and beautiful new memories!

P.S.

I got a new camera! the Ricoh GRIIIx HDF and i am in love!

I am a Product Designer and Commercial Photographer with a strong understanding of the Product Development & Design, as well as high-end Product Photography & Commercialization.
I believe that users deserve products tailored for them, that’s why I strongly emphasize in efficient advertising and clean presentation of the product towards the user, and the key to achieve this experience is the collaboration of light and texture. Majority of my emphasis is placed on strategic user and material research as well as the psychology behind the human interaction with light, dark and texture, producing a product that will bring success to both business and users.


Proving to be highly skilled, detail oriented and with a team-player-attitude designer & photographer, I believe I consistently deliver high quality work.

Currently, I work as an Senior Photographer at the ToyFactory in San Antonio Texas. In the past, I have worked with clients such as, Alliance Boots in Nottingham UK, Total Image Studio in Arnold UK, Visual Options in Thessaloniki Greece, as well as freelancing in both professional areas.



I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Product Design from Nottingham Trent University and a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Creative & Commercial Photography from University of Central Lancashire in Preston UK.
