George Koulouridis
a photographer fascinated by the truth
In street photography the ability to capture the unexpected is instinctive
I was born and live in the city of Chalkis in Greece.
I have been intensively involved in street photography. I love great classic photographers like Bresson, Kertesz, Koudelka, Winogrand. Streets never lies and that's what fascinates me. In street photography the ability to capture the unexpected is instinctive.
The people, the frames are out there, my role is to find a way to tell the story through my camera.

George Koulouridis – second prize of Artistic Series category 2022
The photographs by George Koulouridis share strong similarities with the submission by Marilyn Strauss – for many of the same reasons. Koulouridis’ technical ability in B&W is superb and shares cinematic qualities remindful of both Federico Fellini (1920-1993) – especially Marcello Mastroianni on the beach in La Dolce Vita (1960), and John Ford’s use of the Red #25 filter he used in his classic B&W Hollywood westerns shot on location in Monument Valley, like My Darling Clementine (1946). Koulouridis is a powerful B&W photographer.
