““The icon is not a portrayal of the Divinity, but an indication of a deified man, of the transfigured state of man, of his participation in the divine life.””
I was lucky and blessed enough to take photos of the Orthodox parish I attend. The icons are many, and very beautiful. The gold created a beautifully soft glow in the space, and I was able to approach the icons like portrait photography which was very fun. These photos were taken as part of a design project I did for a Media/Production Studio I started. Most of them will be used in web design, but they are beautiful on their own none-the-less.
