SELECTED PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKS BY GEORGE TATAKIS

Museum-quality black-and-white photographic prints documenting Greek culture, tradition, and identity.

This collection brings together original photographic works from long-term projects such as Ethos and Caryatis.

From My Camera to a Museum

This video documents the complete process behind a fine-art photograph: from the moment it is captured to its final presentation in a museum or exhibition space.

It is not about gear or technique alone, but about intention, editing, printing, and decision-making.

This is the same process I follow for works exhibited in museums and cultural institutions in Greece and abroad.

Essay: OLYMPOS

I loved how brutally honest this book is. I love photography and have thought about getting involved but the eyewatering cost and variety of equipment was always eye watering. The authors honesy is refreshing and motivating.

A.L.

I have A LOT of photography books, I have spent A LOT of money on cameras and lens. I feel like George was speaking to me from my experiences. I have learned more about photography from reading this book than all the information I have read. This is a keeper and on my “read again often” as well as recommending this book to others.

This is award-winning photography for a reason. This book is full of women in beautiful traditional attire in nature and in their homes. The stunning pictures captivate you. If you like photography or are interested in traditional Greek costume, you will like this book!
