About Giannis Angelakis

Giannis Angelakis Photographs are fleeting moments that are kept for the purpose of telling stories. As a street photographer, I try to capture these moments as they happen. I did a degree of Cultural and Media Studies at the University of Wolverhampton (BSc) and studied at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies and Sociology at the University of Birmingham (MPhil), a subject which I think is connected with my interest in human stories. Now, at the age of 39, I am trying to incorporate elements of street photography with a focus on the human subject on everyday news coverage. I am an owner of FUJIFILM X-E3 which I am using up to the point of exhaustion. As in writing all my effort is put to develop my own personal style at telling a story with photography.
