Photographer: Panos Lahanas

I grew up in Kalamata and studied Economics in the University of Piraeus. Photography came up as a hobby at first, when I started carrying my Nikon around, taking mainly landscape pictures. Soon, the power of a human moment, the endless variety of a face’s expressions, the beauty of a glance that only I noticed, stole my heart. From my first portrait until now, I still feel fascinated playing with light and shadows and revealing different truths at every angle.

For me, photography is finding something interesting in an ordinary place.
