George Tatakis (Γιώργος Τατάκης - Born in Athens, Greece October 6, 1981). Best known for his black-and-white work, inspired by the traditions in Greece. His professional photographic career started in 2015, when he quit his profession as an electrical engineer and started traveling across Greece. He was photographing snapshots during local peculiar customary events in Greece. This work formed the first project 'Ethos', which was presented in his exhibition at the Benaki Museum in downtown Athens. This work later moved to the Fragonard Museum in Grasse, Cannes, this time focusing in photographs portraying women wearing local traditional attires. One of his photographs represented Greece at the exhibition 'Another Europe' in London. It is there where he visited an exhibition by Alex Prager and he started thinking differently about directed and posed photography. These two events made him start his next project 'Caryatis'. A study of local traditional women's costumes across Greece. The main artistic difference from 'Ethos' was that Tatakis now directed the images and posed the models. This work gained recognition and received tens of international awards, including the second place in portraits at the Sony World Photography Awards.
