Portraiture 2nd Place

Caryatis is a study of Greek women’s traditional costumes deriving from different time periods in Greece’s rich history. This project evolved out of Tatakis’ previous work, Ethos, which looked at Greek traditions and customs. Each photograph is meticulously staged; postures, attitudes and even hand placements depicted are all typical of the area from which the costume originates.

George Tatakis is an awarded photographer, exhibiting and publishing his work internationally in important institutions and media, such as the Benaki and Fragonard Museums, the New York Times, National Geographic and LFI. International representation by INSTITUTE agency.
