Exhibition
YIANNIS_PROJECTS: GREEK GODS
Most of the men featured on the projects are not professional models. Either friends or insta pals, they envisioned together a world, where male nude photography is appreciated as art. The friendship they share strengths their collaboration and results on even more powerful and meaningful photography.
About the artist
GIANNIS AMPATZIADIS
The nudes. The unapologetic male nudes. The sensual / erotic photographic sessions. Trust. Comradeship. Shared thoughts. Shared fears. Yiannis started photographing men in order to come to understand them better. He has worked on several projects which include nudes. The chemistry between a model and a photographer on a naked photoshoot is really important and the muses of Yiannis' project are the key factor for his creativity. Through trust, empathy, vulnerability and shared vision, photographer and model bring to life an art that transcends the physical and resonates on capturing an emotional transit. Through his photographic narration, he reminds us that male nude photography is not just about the body but the story it tells, the emotions it evokes, and the cultural dialogues it inspires. The biases we hold and we need to confront.
