A Greek-Australian award-winning portrait photographer from Melbourne, Bill Gekas, has drawn the attention of the global photographic community with the portraits of his 5-year-old daughter.
Bill is entirely self-taught having practiced the art of photography and constantly refined his style since the mid-90’s. Since 2010, Bill has been creating a series of portraits of his beautiful five-year-old daughter Athena, inspired by Dutch masters’ classic paintings.
What was originally intended to be just a few personal portraits, became an ongoing art-project for Bill and his family. Mastering the intricacies of studio lighting, combined with a huge amount of preparation painstakingly undertaken by the photographer and his wife in their spare time, has allowed Bill to capture these incredible images.
It’s important to note that during the time of creating these images, Bill was not working as a full time photographer – he part-owns and successfully runs another business in a completely unrelated industry.
