I came across an amazing web site after watching a documentary about a photographer named Platon Antoniou and I want to share it with you. As an amateur photographer, I was amazed by his work and decided to visit the web site of one of his projects called The People's Portfolio. If you want to see some beautiful photographs, then you should take a look. The link is here.
When I first went to the site I expected to see some of his beautiful portraits, but there's a lot more there. The People's Portfolio is about the issues facing us today and the people who are doing something about them. Very, very nice work and the photos are some of the best photography I have ever seen anywhere. His photographs not only capture what these activists look like, but also their emotions and what motivates them.
Platon is an amazing photographer. Tanya found the documentary in a series on design somewhere on Netflix and we watched it one night. This guy's portrait photography is simply stunning. It was amazing to see the creative process he goes through to produce it. It's not a bunch of crazy stuff. It's just the right stuff. If you get a chance to watch this documentary then you should do it. You'll recognize most of the photos from magazine covers and you'll also see a lot of new ones. I can honestly say that watching Platon's creative process and the photographs that resulted from it gave me a a totally new outlook on photography as an art.
