Open and signed options are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographed in Prespes, this black and white image is structured around authority through central axial alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary subject stands at the center, facing directly forward, with two secondary figures positioned slightly behind on either side. The formation creates a clear vertical axis, reinforced by the frontal posture and direct gaze of the central figure. The hands are positioned symmetrically, stabilizing the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe environment is a church interior defined by an iconostasis with large painted icons. Two dominant icon figures flank the composition, creating a symmetrical backdrop. The architectural structure introduces vertical divisions that align with the placement of the subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relationship between subject and environment is aligned. The central figure occupies the midpoint between the two icons, establishing a direct correspondence between human presence and the painted forms. The secondary figures reinforce the depth without breaking the symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight is frontal and controlled, illuminating the central figure more prominently while the background remains slightly subdued. The tonal contrast emphasizes the separation between subject and environment while preserving detail in fabric and painted surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional Greek costume through directed portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted as an archival pigment print on Hahnemühle fine art paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Central axial composition\u003cbr\u003e• Symmetry between subjects and icons\u003cbr\u003e• Frontal posture and direct gaze\u003cbr\u003e• Controlled tonal separation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in multiple sizes and formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more relevant artwork, by heading over to our \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/macedonia\" title=\"Black and White Photography Wall Art from Greece by George Tatakis: Macedonia collection\"\u003eMacedonia collection\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWatch the video here:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gvYupOjJSfQ\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Tatakis","offers":[{"title":"30 x 20 cm \/ Print Only \/ Open","offer_id":53562862960979,"sku":"PRECH3-SN","price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 20 cm \/ Print Only \/ Signed","offer_id":53562862993747,"sku":"PRECH3-SNY","price":320.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"42 x 30 cm \/ Framed in Black Oak \/ Open","offer_id":53562863026515,"sku":"PRECH3-MY","price":800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"42 x 30 cm \/ Framed in Black Oak \/ Signed","offer_id":53562863059283,"sku":"PRECH3-MYY","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 x 42 cm \/ Print Only \/ Open","offer_id":53562863092051,"sku":"PRECH3-LN","price":380.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 x 42 cm \/ Print Only \/ Signed","offer_id":53562863124819,"sku":"PRECH3-LNY","price":920.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 20 cm \/ Framed in Black Oak \/ Open","offer_id":53562863157587,"sku":"PRECH3-SY","price":480.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 20 cm \/ Framed in Black Oak \/ Signed","offer_id":53562863190355,"sku":"PRECH3-SYY","price":680.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"42 x 30 cm \/ Print Only \/ Open","offer_id":53562863223123,"sku":"PRECH3-MN","price":260.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"42 x 30 cm \/ Print Only \/ Signed","offer_id":53562863255891,"sku":"PRECH3-MNY","price":560.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 x 42 cm \/ Framed in Black Oak \/ Open","offer_id":53562863288659,"sku":"PRECH3-LYN","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 x 42 cm \/ Framed in Black Oak \/ Signed","offer_id":53562863321427,"sku":"PRECH3-LYY","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/0632\/1823\/files\/prespes-caryatis-three-women-church-macedonia-greece.jpg?v=1777391382","url":"https:\/\/checkout.tatakis.com\/en-eu\/products\/black-white-photography-wall-costumes-prespes-local-church-macedonia-greece","provider":"George Tatakis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
