Marissa Tejada
Marissa is an author and award-winning freelance journalist based in Greece. She was born in Brooklyn, New York and grew up on Long Island (NY) and has followed her media career across the world. She has lived in Upstate New York, London, Los Angeles, Washington State, Orlando and San Francisco.
Her interest in photography first piqued in college where she mastered her hand-me-down Minolta XD5 45 mm film camera. She happily spent hours in the dark room to develop her projects which had a photo journalistic focus. Since then she’s worked on both sides of the camera, from behind the scenes at an international news bureau to covering local and national news as a television reporter and anchor. Currently, as a freelance journalist, travel writer and blogger she shoots for many of her stories.
Marissa loves travelling in Europe and discovering its history and many cultures. In Greece, she has a soft-spot for the whitewashed buildings and clear blue seas of the Cycladic Islands where every corner has the potential for a great shot. Her blog, my Greece, my travels, is her outlet to share her travel experiences and photography from around the country.
Meet Kochar
Pursuing fashion designing from niift and photography as an avocational activity. Loves painting and sketching, and kills spare time by doing anything that involves art and crafts. Cooking freak and a palm reader, wishes to have my own fashion house and an orphanage where I can teach children different forms of art. Communcative, rhetoric, generating random yet creative ideas, playing pranks and party girl are my hallmarks. Passionate about travelling nd visiting all the corners of India is my dream. Loves to capture emotions of people and all the traditions that rich indian heritage holds. Camera in my hand is like a diamond ring worn by a lady. In my opinion photography is the best form of excercise, one can solve many mysteries and can reveal secrets through it. Its the best medium to present day-to-day objects and activities into a different perspective.
Stephanie Gillis
Stephanie Gillis was born in Toledo, Ohio in May 1994. She has always been artistic and really into photography. When she was younger she thought the chances of her becoming an known artist was about the same as becoming a rock star. But her mom encouraged her to try to make a living off of what she loves. She hasn’t done really anything professional yet, but she is working her way there. She hopes to get a lot of exposure of her artwork and maybe one day sells it. Stephanie Mostly does it for the passion and the fun. Her life motto is, “Photography is a part of who I am. It’s how I see the world. Everything is beautiful, you just have to see it through the camera’s eye, and not the eyes of people.” She lives by that and let it guides her.
