2nd Place: Caryatis 2021 by George Tatakis

Caryatis is a study of Greek women's traditional costumes deriving from different time periods in Greece's rich history. This project evolved out of Tatakis' previous work, Ethos, which looked at Greek traditions and customs. Each photograph is meticulously staged; postures, attitudes and even hand placements depicted are all typical of the area from which the costume originates.
