Nikos Papadopoulos is the man who is behind all our editorial imagery at Paolita. As one of my favourite photographers, and now good friend, I wanted to showcase work that he has done outside of the brand.
I have asked him to select from his vast work, a few images and talk to us about them.

During the photoshoot there was a lot of friction between us and the archaeologists as we were shooting in front of some Athenian monuments, although we had all the legal rights to do so as we were outside their perimeter.
We finally gave way to them, but luckily, I managed to get some amazing shots!
I loved working with Thea, a British model whose name means goddess in Greek! This was for the same editorial as the picture above. It was shot in front of the temple of Poseidon in the cape of Sounio.
I photographed top model, Diana Moldovan for Harpers Bazaar on a speeding boat. This was a very difficult image to achieve as shooting at high speed is not an easy thing to do.

I photographed Danish model, Vala Thorsteinsson for Vogue Hellas back in 2005 at the Achilleo Museum in Korfu. Unfortunately, although this was the suggested cover for that issue by the art director of Vogue, it was not used as ultimately she was deemed too blond for a Greek magazine.
