Photographer: Antonis Politakis
I am Antonis
I was born in Athens and I come from beautiful Crete. From an early age, I took up photography, specifically photographing the sacred mysteries of marriage and baptism.
After graduating from high school, I studied photography in a private school and at the same time I worked in my father’s photographic studio.
In 2009 I opened my own studio, Antonis Politakis Photography, in the neighborhood where I was born, I grew up and since then I live the dream. A childhood dream that I managed to make reality and an everyday life.
After many years with great effort, the search for new techniques of photography, the attendance of seminars beside the famous photographers of the world’s firmness and the credit received from my clients, I created and adopted my own personal style in wedding photography and baptism, portrait and fashion photography. A style that has made me stand out, has brought me through many competitions in Greece and abroad, but above all has brought me very close to what you ask.
I photograph with respect to myself, to my art and to my clients. The photos, capture the personality of each one through his feelings. With an emphasis on the intensity of the moment with small doses of artistic photography influenced by fashion and the contemporary printed form, I deliver photos to you that make you understand that a photo has as much power and magic.
What I ask of myself is to be able to capture the majesty of every person through my machine.
