Expect to see a tribute to Greek postwar photographer Costas Balafas as well as contemporary visions created by emerging local and international talent. Among them is Lisa Elmaleh, who lugs around a large-format camera and portable dark room and uses the 19th-century ferrotyping technique to create a vintage look. The young American photographer will present her latest works (photo), in which she captures musicians who appear to be plucked out of another era.

 

Organised by the Hellenic Centre for Photography, the festival also features an array of interesting parallel events and shows - many beyond the main venue, such as master classes with British documentary photographer Simon Norfolk and inventive New York-based conceptual illustrator Viktor Koen.
