The Art of creative photography - Platon Rivellis
On Art, Photography, Fashion and Aesthetics (Some thoughts on the occasion of a photography exhibition) Entrusting the curatorship of an exhibition dedicated to fashion photography to a person who knows and loves photography as an art, but who is unacquainted with fashion, can only raise numerous questions. More so when, on several past occasions, the curator in question has repeatedly expressed his disapproval of the lighthearted expansion of the boundaries of art, within which both fashion as such and its photography are now congested. The juxtaposition of the two words that make up the title of the exhibition poses more questions than it aspires to answer.Elli Souyioultzoglou-Seraïdari ( Greek : Έλλη Σουγιουλτζόγλου-Σεραϊδάρη ) b.1899 - d.1998 (better known as Nelly's ) is one the most celebrated Greek photographers of all time, and during the interwar period became one of the world's most celebrated female photographers. Her pictures of ancient Greek temples against sea and sky backgrounds, which were published by the first Greek ministries of tourism, shaped the first visual images of Greece in the Western mind. She was born in Aidini, near Smyrna (now İzmir ), Asia Minor , and after the 1922 expulsion of the ethnic Greeks of Asia Minor by the Turks following the Greco-Turkish war (1919-1922) , she went to study photography in Germany under Hugo Erfurth and Franz Fiedler . In 1924 she came to Greece, where she adopted a nationalistic and conservative approach to her work.

HERBERT LIST October 7th, 1903 - April 4th, 1975 Born into a prosperous Hamburg merchant family, List begins in 1921 an apprenticeship at a Heidelberg coffee dealer and studies literature and art history at Heidelberg University. The young man takes photographs during his travels between 1924-1928 for the coffee business of his father, as yet without any artistic pretensions. In 1930, his artistic leanings and connections to the European avant-garde bring him together with Andreas Feininger.

Leni Riefenstahl
Le 22 août 2002, Leni Riefenstahl atteignait l’âge de 100 ans. Evénement si considérable que, d’un bout du monde à l’autre, la communication médiatique internationale n’a pas manqué d’en répercuter l’écho. Cette marche au pas fut orchestrée avec la sortie sur les écrans de sa dernière œuvre : Impressions sous-marines . Et nous voilà bombardés des expressions stéréotypées de circonstance, la toute nouvelle centenaire étant présentée comme une « éternelle jeune fille » , une « figure mythique » , une « légende vivante » , une « aventurière fabuleuse » !... Dans les nombreux entretiens qu’elle a accordés après la guerre, ainsi que dans ses Mémoires de 1987, l’ancienne égérie de Hitler s’épuise à s’autojustifier.
