FOR MY FACEBOOK PAGE, ask me by note.


-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------

I am an ex model, currently photographer specialized in book cover photography, especially portraits.
-------------------------------------------------
My work has appeared on book covers, cd covers and magazines. So, if you are interested to purchase any of my works, contact me at: vali@kallias.com
-------------------------------------------------

I DO NOT WORK FOR FREE


I cannot afford that, so for commercial use, after the payment (I USE PAYPAL) you will receive the large resolution file and a hand written permission with my handwritten signature. Only my handwritten permission is legal.


Please understand it costs money to make my art, to buy licenses, to buy props and photographic equipment. And I think it is normal that I want my work and products to be payed, just like everybody wants their work to be paid. I do not live my life from art, the art only brings me some money from time to time.
**************************************

Here are few examples of other of my photos that appeared on book covers:






Photos are mine, but the editing and designs of the covers are made by the Publisher's designers.







Interests: Creating art and learning more about
art.
Other interests: Military stuff, gasmasks, Asian horror, Poets of the Fall, Killswitch Engage, Marilyn Monroe...




THIS IS THE ONLY ACCOUNT WHERE I POST MY PHOTOS. IF YOU FIND OTHER ACCOUNTS WITH MY PHOTOS OR MY NAME ON, PLEASE CONTACT ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP !

I am 3d artist, book cover photographer and you can say illustrator:) I sell images for book covers and CD covers, but not only. I do like to create different types of art because I do not want to have a stagnant style..


You are free to make drawings after my portraits and post them in your gallery. I am really honored when people draw portraits after my photos:) Just do NOT forget to give credit with link to my image.
--------------------------------------
However, I DO NOT allow my stuff to be used as tubes, tags, glitter...etc. My art is not stock, so please respect that.


Other things about me:

The only place I post my images are here and on renderosity. I have a my space account, but i do not use it. i also have a Facebook account, so if you like to know it, send me a private message:)






**************************************

Favourite style of art: it doesn't matter, i find beauty in ever style
Operating System: my Brain

Personal Quote: No soup for you !!!

Thank you, anonymous deviant:)

I am not much around lately, as i don't have models to photograph at the moment, nor the funds to pay them to pose for my portfolio. But i will check messages from time to time and try to answer important questions. However., I would like to thank to the generous anonymous deviant who was nice to give me 6 months of premium membership. I appreciate it so much and I am very grateful. I really wish i know who you are. last time i received a premium membership was also from an anonymous...and sincerely, I would really really love to know who these people are:)

And because a premium membership should be used a lot for features..here there are some really beautiful images made by several artists. Enjoy, and don't forget to fav the artists images, not my journal. I am sure the artists would be happy to receive your comments and faves personally:)

  • Reading: your comments

do not use my images for roleplaying games


-I do NOT allow my images for role-playing games or RPG cards.
Many of the publishing agencies and writers I work with, buy my images with exclusive rights and any use of those images is 100% prohibited.
Thank you for your understanding

about comments and notes


I APPOLOGISE FOR ANSWERING THE NOTES AND COMMENTS SO SLOW. My e-mail box has at the moment over 10,000 messages and I am really behind. I am a very busy person who spends little time on the internet and I cannot take care of the massive number of messages that I receive everyday. It is overwhelming and I am trying my best. If you didn't receive an answer to a question you asked me or a comment you left on my page, please forgive my delay and understand that I have messages piling everyday and I cannot keep up anymore. But i REALLY am trying my best
This is why I have the comments disabled to my images, for the fact I wouldn't even have time to read and reply to them.

When I take selfportraits I use hand remotes for all of my cameras and autofocus. Tripods and remotes are very important when taking self-portraits. Light is ALWAYS natural from the window and I prefer taking photos during sunny days. Occasionally, for stronger light, i use a cardboard covered in aluminum foil.
