About Me

I've been around the block:
Shooting stars since 1998... www.olga-k.net
__________________________________________________________
Brief bio:
I was born in Canada, grew up in Greece, relocated to the UK for 8 amazing years, breezed through Sweden, spent a wonderfully tough two years in San Francisco and I am currently residing in sunny Greece, in between islands.
I first held a camera at a Sisters of Mercy concert in Athens back in '97. It was only a tiny compact one with a built-in flash and the results were pretty bad, but I got instantly hooked on live photography and my world has never been the same since. I have been chasing artists and bands for that perfect unique onstage moment all over the world.
My work has seen the light of a variety of media:
CDs ::: Clan of Xymox - Live , Diamanda Galas - La Serpenta Canta
books ::: Mick Mercer 21st century Goth
magazines ::: SONIK (GR), Darklife (UK), Zillo (DE), Snoozer (JP), Music Life (GR), Metal Hammer (GR)
web ::: avopolis.gr , raymanzarek.us , diamandagalas.com , clanofxymox.com , starvox.net and many others.
I am currently based in Greece contributing work to avopolis , SONIK and Metal Hammer Greece . I am always interested in new bands, magazines and ideas... Get in touch !
Musicians, photographers, performers, artists of any kind, old friends & 'real' people, please apply within. I'm very down to earth and super-friendly so come and talk to me if you see me out and about (which is pretty often @ gigs, festivals and bars). I travel all the time, so be sure to check out my calendar to see if I'm in your area.
Yes, I'm the one who shot Tila . She's absolutely rawkin' and a great gal who works incredibly hard to get to where she is, so stop bitchin' and join the Tila army :)

CHECK OUT POH's fucking great work and portfolio:

I'd like to meet:


MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN and MADONNA ...as well as: artists...performers...freaks...photographers...musicians... inspiring people...people with stories to share...real people...people who care about the environment around them...people who aren't afraid to show their 'true colours'...oh, and Ellis Sexton ;)

I am NOT here to get a boyfriend, kick your balls or add you on MSN.

I don't add just anybody...ABSOLUTELY NO bullshit music, profiles with one picture, chauvinist pigs, show-offs, emotional retards and profiles with a zillion blinky htmls. Don't show off too much, cause whatever you've done I've probably done it bigger, better and more ;)

Oh, and in case you're wondering, I've met all the people on my top friends list (except for her Madgesty)...I won't just place anybody up there.

NOW PAY SOME FUCKING ATTENTION - THE TWO DON'Ts:
