Fashion Photography & Aesthetics #1
|
A generally accepted definition of Aesthetics is the philosophical preoccupations on the notions of beauty, art and taste. In short, the study of the mind and its emotions.
How does all this translate in the world of fashion photography though? Is the main purpose of this type of art to solely sell luxurious goods by showcasing elaborate clothes, accessories and products in exotic settings? Perhaps it is. But aesthetic judgment in contemporary fashion photography is also about challenging the image, technical ability, imagination and constant questioning of the medium’s boundaries.

Bio
Christos lives and works in Athens and London. He received his photographic training at the University of West London, where he obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography and prior to that a SRCET Diploma in Photography from Northbrook College, Sussex, England. Primarily a fashion photographer, Christos’ work has featured in a number of Greek and international magazines over the years.
Inspired by the bizarre surroundings of his native town and his eccentric social circle, Christos found interest in becoming a photographer in order to explore and document the comic photographic narratives unfolding in front of him. Since then, and still very passionate about his photography, he finds inspiration in individuality and courage.
