when I shoot, nobody gets hurt
Hey, how’s it goin’? I feel like I know you for years. I don’t? Aww… it felt so right.
In that case, I’m Nick Koudis, and I’m glad to meet you.
I’m a photographer, shooting in LA, with deep NYC roots. My work is over here. But my blog is right here. I don’t like calling it a blog, really. I’m not really a linear type of person. We’ve got some projects going on here, and I want to share them with you, so they have their own pages. Each project will grow like a little plant, then flower with the final image.
And I think (since I know you so well) that you’re coming here for some inspiration. So I’m gonna give it to you. I’ll try and pepper my droll how-to’s with some creative challenges and thoughts to keep you fresh. “Because if you’re not fresh, you’re the opposite of fresh”. You can quote me on that.
Espresso is the life blood of my creative process. I give mine to get it.
Shortcuts are good. Especially when they're not corner cuts. Luxology's new lighting preset kit shortens my cuts, but doesn't cut my corners.
I shoot Mark Salling from Glee, and in the process discover RadioPoppers, an amazing new tool in my fight with light. Read more.
I convert a 2D photo to 3D. The hard way. Sometimes the biggest human achievements go unnoticed. Not this one. Have a look.
And the studio lights get kicked in. I rave about the new Studio Lighting kit in modo401.
The Ironic Death series is coming along nicely. Have a look. We're scouting for an old man.
I “review” Intelligentsia coffee. It’s a tad biased, because intelligentsia is f-cking amazing. Wow. I just got bleeped.
I look at the things that we each can do that no one else can. Think about it and send me comments.
