Description & Specifications

Published by IANOS Editions is the first photographic album by Paris Karamitsios, titled "Living Light." This album serves as a tribute to the intense light of the Greek summer, the rocky islands with their characteristic architecture and shrubland landscapes, the permanent residents and their ephemeral visitors, as well as to the blue and white that dominate among other colors.

From my early childhood, the sun and the sea have always accompanied my life. The natural environment of Greece offers both in abundance, and I feel fortunate to have experienced many great Greek summers. The landscape of the Greek islands has shaped my aesthetics in many ways and has defined my quest for happiness.

This album serves as a tribute to the intense light of the Greek summer, the rocky islands with their characteristic architecture and shrubland landscapes, the permanent residents and their ephemeral visitors, as well as to the blue and white that dominate among other colors. This light maximally exposes the souls of the people it touches and, over time, transforms the works of man and nature that cannot escape it.

Under this light, things become more transparent and clear, like a journey back to our early days. The same light, when it falls on sandy beaches, white houses, and chapels, on the faces and bodies of people, reveals their meaning and grace.

The depiction of the Greek summer was an experience that gave me great satisfaction and connected me closely with the places I visited and the people I met. I am extremely grateful to all the people who appear in the photographs of this album and I deeply thank them for their contribution to it.
