The name of Giannis Bechrakis (1960-2019) is inextricably linked to the most significant moments in global photojournalism over the last few decades.

A witness to the events that shape contemporary history and a defender of those who endure it, Giannis Bechrakis was a deeply committed humanitarian. His main characteristic was his realistic yet idealistic way of capturing human tragedy and the constant reminder that hope survives amid misery and destruction.

Based on a series of conversations he had with George Archimandrite, the book "Giannis Bechrakis - Through the Eyes of the Soul" vividly captures the philosophy and mindset of the award-winning Greek photographer and provides us with the pure essence of the poetry of his art and life.
