Freak Show Pt 1.
(click on the photos to enlarge them)
Freak Show
is my first artistic project related to the human nature and psychology. Being
a freak is about being who you really are instead of what others what you to be
or wish you were. It doesn’t have to be scary, ugly, unpleasant or dark. It’s
about being brave enough to accept and express yourself.
The idea of
creating my little Freak Show was planted in my brain when I started watching the
4th season of American Horror Story which was called; you guessed
it, Freak Show. There’s something about the darkness and the unknown and the
evil that’s inside of each and every one of us no matter how pure we think we
are that really inspired me to do this.

Disclaimer: I did all the make up, styling, took & edited all the photos
ALTHOUGH I am by no means a pro at any of these. My goal with this project to
feed the little monster that lives in my brain and motivates me to push myself
and turn my inspiration into something visible.
Today I am
going to introduce you to a small number of the freaks you’ll see later on in
very different make up and clothes. This is just a small teaser of the madness
that is coming later on. This first Freak Show’s project theme was the
Halloween. Thanks to my second home, The ProDancers Studio for letting us use
its space for one of the photo shoots and, obviously, each and every person that
did and will participate in this. In case you wanna be part of this or have any
questions, contact me on Instagram: e.athina or Facebook: here.
