About
Giannis Gogos is an avid photographer and musician based in Northeastern Greece. He usually calls himself a “dedicated amateur” artist. This attribute is giving him the luxury to set aside photography’s commercial use. It allows him to take risks, have no fear of failure and reconsider his relation to photography and art.
He started photography in 2008. For several years the wild and mystical beauty of the Rhodope mountain range influences him on his landscape and nature subjects. His daughter’s birth in 2014 awakes a conscious effort to connect with his inner world through the medium of photography. From then on the variety of his subjects expands.
He is seeking inspiration from various photographers, painters and musicians. Besides that he is trying to leave his senses open to his daily impressions.
