Orpheas Sampatakakis is a young Athenian who calls himself a “strolling photographer”. He collects unusual images in the streets of Athens, the city where he grew up and lives. They are characterized by a pleasant mixture of ironic sweetness slightly tinged with absurdity. This series that works as a kind of photo novel is the most personal project of Orphéas Sampatakakis. Indeed, these images that have the flavor of an old film shot on a Cycladic island are actually the result of the photographer’s dreamy and affectionate look on his own vacation. They provide information on the summer magic of Greece, and Sampatakakis’ friends, his country and those precious moments that take place only once a year.
