[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]Socrates Baltagiannis is a documentary photographer born (1979) and based in Athens, Greece.
\nApart from his commissioned work, which often lies between editorial and assignments covering news, humanitarian crisis and current affairs, his personal work is multifaceted, dealing with subject matters not necessarily popular but always with an eye on social issues and how people are affected by society, the environment and vice versa. Many of his photographs have been published in prominent newspapers and journals worldwide, such as Der Spiegel, Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, the Guardian, Courrier International, Internazionale, Le Point, Le Temps, Stern, La Croix, Die Zeit and FAZ among others. He works as freelancer for dpa (German Press Agency) and from 2015, he has been working closely with organizations such as the IFRC and UNHCR, documenting the refugee crisis in Greece. He is a member of the Frontline Freelance Register and on June 2018, took part at a HEFAT (Hostile Environment & First Aid Training) hosted by 1st<\/sup> Option safety group.<\/p>\n

The Athenians <\/strong><\/p>\n

A wandering in the streets of the city of Athens, where I was born and grew up and where as much as it hurts me, I stubbornly choose to live in.<\/p>\n

A wandering in the streets of the city which gives you the feeling that you are dealing with a real person; a multidimensional individual. With every alley having its own distinguished character and every corner a change of forms and personality.<\/p>\n

Individual frames, individual stories, of an everyday life. Put it all together, and you have the pieces of the \u201cThe Athenians\u201d puzzle.<\/p>\n
