Random summer moments

Grèce

2015

The photos were taken last summer with my mobile phone.
I started taking pictures to test my phone’s camera without having to carry my camera, lenses and tripod around. A device that you carry with you all the time, that helps you capture random moments of your life, instantly.
Although I wasn’t amazed by the quality of the images, I soon realised the magic and significance of the content and duration that each picture was taken.
A photographer is not an “expensive camera”. Every single photo is a story of thoughts, feelings and aesthetics that can surpass the means deemed necessary for an important picture.
