The Benaki Museum

Hello everyone!

   I am visiting quite a great amount of museums lately. I found out that I do love museums, especially when I visit them on my own, without someone to disturb me or to be hasty on passing over the art pieces quickly so we can leave. I also realised I drain a vast part of my inspiration off them. It is of great pleasure to state that I admire the way art is preserved in greek museums. Not only did every single museum I visited employed many keepers - who were really focused on their task - but also the humidity's and temperature's levels were strickly regulated. The art pieces were protected behind glasses and I also noticed special infrastructure for blond and deaf people too.

   Some of the museums I visited are The Benaki Museum, The Byzantine and Christian Museum and the Acropolis Museum to name just a few. I am sharing some analogue b/w shots from the former. Although I have loads of shots corresponding to the other museums, I am going to make a novel post for them.

On Holidays! - Ios Island (3rd Part)

Hey everyone!

   It's been months since I last updated my blog. My schedule is quite crazy and I don't really find spare time not only to blog, but also to meet friends or organise photography things and stuff. Blogging is just amazing, I always loved sharing my artwork with fellows and listening to any judge. I'm up to some great ideas lately too - analogue black and white portraits, I'm on the way but I still need more. Photography is my way of expression and I lately realised it's roughly 5 years I'm involved in it. That's just incredible for me. Everywhere I look, art is all I see. Everything is a source of inspiration. My life would be just boring wthout all this. 

   I am going to publish more photos from summer's excursions - I've got plenty of photos still not shared.

On Holidays! - Prints of darkness

Hello everyone!

  It's been a really long time since I last updated the series "On Holidays!". I'am posting some prints of darkness that turned out really good, although I'm not really accustomed to shooting in low light. The locatons of the photos are a great restaurant at Ios Island, Greece (whose decoration was amazing in general), an adorable cafe in Athens and on board. 

  I've come to the conclusion I'd rather shoot in low light sometimes. I love the mysterious atmosphere and the analogue details that are captured. My next goal is to develop my greatest film so far, so I chose b&w film for this mission and I am pretty selective on what to shoot. I guess some portaits will do !

On Holidays! - Ios Island (2nd Part)

Hey everyone! 

  I had a really busy and tough week, studying, sitting some exams and pushing my limits. I couldn't find some spare time to post my 2nd post from the series "On Holidays!", although I was looking forward to it. But, at last, the weekend came and I'm taking some days off! 

  In this part, I am posting some analogue shots while on board. The sea was in turmoil for a great part of our journey, so waves were crashing on our ferry and on the rocks of the islands we were passing by. Despite the dizziness the angry sea brought about, the view on the horizon was amazing. It made me feel like a tiny drop in this ocean of anger, but, in the same time, safe, cause I am trusting Mother Nature. Except for the sea sceneries and the harbours we visited on our way to Ios, I am including some shots from special things on the ferry, like a cute dog and two cute girls from abroad, who caught my attention because they were sitting on the floor, despite the wind, the heavy waterdrops and high salinity.
