THE STORY OF ARTIST:
NIKI GLEOUDI
”Ever since my father gave me an old Kodak Retina I fell in love with photography. I was 13 years old. I love photographing people, relationships, capturing the moment. During my college years I took many photo courses and enjoyed them tremendously. The University dark room was my refuge where time flew by without noticing. After that I participated in various workshops and mentoring. People and street photography are my main subjects of interest. I love exploring relationships, emotions and the energy that lies beneath. It is more than a passion, it’s a part of myself. Street photography to me is the art of being aware. I am not at all observant and I certainly have Attention Deficit Disorder. I found out that when I carry my camera it is my secret wand that metamorphoses me to awareness and mindfulness. Using all six senses, using all the soul inside I try to capture images that I’d never observe otherwise. When I photograph I feel like I am in a trans. I don’t feel heat, hunger or thirst, I just feel like I am an invisible observer united with my subjects trying to catch a magical moment with my lens.”
