Greece is a small country of incredible natural beauty, generous people, and warm hospitality. It is a country with an endless coastline —the largest in the Mediterranean— and thousands of little islands. It is a country drenched in sunlight.
Every time I am here, I can’t help but noticing how different the light in Greece is. It has a different feel to it, and it has bright, vibrant properties. Especially when it reflects off the deep blue sea and the white-washed island houses and churches.
Shooting in Greece means capturing this special light. I find that the photos I take in Greece barely need any adjustments at all. I spent a few days last week on the small, quaint little island of Paros. I took loads of photos and here are a few that I want to share with you all before I head back home next week. I hope that you notice that special Greek island light too!
