Internationally renowned photographer Giorgos Tatakis publishes his new photographic book “OLYMPUS: From Karpathos to Byzantium”
George Tatakis has just released his photographic album, “OLYMPOS: From Karpathos to Byzantium”, an artistic tribute to the enduring beauty and traditions of the place. With stunning black and white photographs, Tatakis takes the reader on a journey through the traditions and living culture of Olympus. From the Byzantine Easter to the olive harvest, from traditional weddings to animal husbandry, Tatakis's imposing photographs capture the warmth and resilience of the people of Olympus and immerse readers in their daily lives, festive and religious traditions. “The book includes photographs of me from my visits between 2016 and 2017,” Tatakis said. “This book is the result of my passion for photography and my love for Greek culture. I hope it will help readers appreciate the beauty and richness of the traditions of this place.” Edited by Associate Professor Andrew Farrington, the book includes an introduction by Associate Professor B. Chrysanthopoulou, D. Phil, and prologue by E. Diakogeorgou, MSc, who calls the book “... poetry in pictures inspired by local tradition”.
The book is available at Tataki's online store (shoptatakis.com).
