Panos Kokkinias

Panos Kokkinias's photographs stand out to me because of their striking boldness.  The colors and the lighting were the things that caught my attention.  At first you think you are looking at a landscape, and then you see the subject.  It seems as if he is capturing glaces into peoples' lives and then you notice how perfectly placed everything is.  I love the emotion that vibrates off of his works and makes you stop and think about what is going on.  Though, at least for me, it seems as if you will never be able to fully understand.
