REMEMBERING A MASTER

"Even an ugly face has a side that has beauty in it, and my purpose is to find it and make it into a photograph." - Dinos Diamantopoulos

Greece lost one of her artists earlier this month when Dinos Diamantopoulos passed away at the age of 55. He was one of the greatest photographers in fashion and celebrity. Dinos perfected the art of retouching his photographs --never the persona. He had a keen eye for beauty and breathing life into each photograph. For thirty years he built his portfolio on photographing portraits of Greek models, politicians and entertainers and the fashion world. His photos defined perfect, timeless beauty.
Above, a photo of Dora Bakogianni from his latest black and white collection.
