I recently spent a few days in Athens and wanted to try to capture some of the city’s vibrant urban landscapes and energy.
Although open to all photographic opportunities around me, I always like to go out with a a specific intent when shooting as to not get overwhelmed. In the case of photographing Athens I decided to approach the city with a focus on color and contrast while exploring side streets and the ancient ruins. I was looking for strong characters and contrasting dark shadows and I was blessed with crisp blue skies so that played into the color aspect of a lot of the images captured there.
