Meet the Greek Photographer: Nelly. For many, photography is merely a sophisticated way of immortalizing the current and carrying that frozen moment—which is impossible to recreate —onward to the vastness of time.
Elli Sougioultzoglou-Seraidari (Έλλη Σουγιουλτζόγλου-Σεραϊδάρη), known as Nelly, a Greek photographer, not only captured mesmerizing shots throughout her lifetime, but she was also able to brilliantly amalgamate them with the unmatched beauty and grandeur of ancient Greek aesthetics. Through her neoclassical approach to photography, Nelly enhanced the modern subjects by infusing them with the idealized Hellenic manner, which ultimately contributed to the revival of Neoclassicism.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at her story! Nelly of Aidini Elli Sougioultzoglou-Seraidari was born in Aidini (Aydın), Ottoman Empire in 1899. When she first went to Dresden, Germany, she was planning to study visual arts, specifically painting, yet, life steered her on a different path. Nelly organized many exhibitions.

Nachlass Lore Krüger . Courtesy Galleria Martini & Ronchetti, Genoa, IT Magdeburg, London, Mallorca, Barcelona, Paris, Marseille, Trinidad, New York, Wisconsin, Berlin: these were stops along the route of an eventful escape—a moving, existential mid-twentieth century odyssey. German-Jewish photographer Lore Krüger experienced and survived emigration, resistance, persecution, imprisonment, internment camp, and exile after the rise of the National Socialists and during the Second World War. And she had her camera with her the entire time.
Lore Krüger’s photographs are strongly influenced by the “New Seeing,” a movement that emerged within the Bauhaus context, but also by other artistic movements such as Cubism, Dadaism, and Surrealism.

One should never dull it by wanting to know everything. One shouldn’t ask too many questions but do what one does properly, never rush, and never torment oneself.” -Josef Sudek Roundnice Gallery, office of the director, when Sudek visited to see his exhibition.Photo by Charles Sawyer, 1976 For Josef Sudek, his first true foray into photography was, literally and figuratively, an autodidactic trial by fire.
