What is it to be a Kovsie?
2014-11-14
#PeopleofKovsies - My philosophy is: be who you are, follow your bliss and when life gets tricky, put on a pair of heels! - #KovsieFeeling
#PeopleOfKovsies is infiltrating common spaces and ordinary places to find these extraordinary qualities – in you. What is better than one picture to tell the story of a thousand words? Only – a stack of pictures that tells the Kovsie story.
So, when one of our #PeopleOfKovsies photographers come your way, don’t run – stay! And smile. Or wink. Or pout. Or point. No matter what angle or pose, we want you to be part of our #PeopleOfKovsies snapshot collection to reveal the essence of what exactly that #KovsieFeeling is.
