About Us


HELIOS (ἤτοι... φωτογραφικὴ ὁμὰς έλιος) is a photographic team consisted of some photographically unrestful young people who continuously try, like an other Medusa's head, to freeze the photographic Time and place according to Henri-Cartier Bresson the head, the eye and the heart on the same axis.

The effort is wearing and many time ineffective. The photographic event keeps escaping the team members' attention whose look is not yet acute enough. Failure lies in ambush in every click of the camera...


Everyday reality is always present but the photographic World is not that apparent. The artist’s primal responsibility is the discovery of the latter and its introduction to the outside as an alternative way of viewing Life. The means of this effort is the artist’s unconditional self-display, that is the presentation of his work. Only then his total exposure (f/1.8) can be established.


This is the purpose of the current page; to have photos posted from time to time by the members of H e l i o s in order to propose a new perspective of the non-photographic World through the photographic prism of the team.


The off is given. The trip unfolds ahead difficult but nonetheless intriguing.

Don't forget to pull the trigger!
If you don't take the first picture, you won't take the good picture.

Well, I wish you have a good start on this photographic journey and never forget that the nature of the photographic process... it is about failure.
The failures can be intelligent or stupid; nothing ventured nothing gained. Hopefully you’re risking failing every time you make a frame.

(by the way, like the tilt in the photo. My favorite!)

'It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy' Ας είναι τα λόγια του Bresson ένα ανέσπερο φως που θα σας οδηγεί πάντα...

Et n' oubliez jamais que une photo confuse ne peut pas pénetrer dans la mémoire.

La structure formelle d' une photo, sa composition est aussi importante que le sujet lui-même.
Il faut éliminer tout ce qui est superflu, il faut diriger l' oeil en dictateur. Et il faut prendre celui du spectateur et le conduire à ce qu' il est est intéressant de voir.

Wow, nice effort! May you trully (re)discover Beauty through your photos; Beauty in temrs of Form of course.

Yes... Beauty and Art, Art and Beauty! Pay good attention to these platonic words, my friends.
Life is a chaos from which shape must be revealed. This has always been the intention.

"The photograph is a thin slice of space as well as time. The camera's rendering of reality must always hide more than it discloses".

Keep these words in mind my fellow heliolists and never forget that photographs constiture a grammar and even more importantly an ethics of seeing!
