Curicullum Vitae

George Kazazis was born in 1981 in Athens where he is living and working after a 3-year-break while he had been placed in Naxos island.

He has studied Theology in the Theological Faculty of the University of Athens. He has also a Master degree in Criminology in Panteion University of Political and Social Sciences in the Faculty of Sociology. After finishing with his military service he started a PhD research in Criminology and he is a PhD Candidate up to today.

His main profession is Photography for 7 years.

His first touch with photography was in his early years when his father, Fotis Kazazis, one of the most important Greek photographers from the 60’s until now, was taking with him for company in his dark room.

He started dealing more seriously with the photographic art in 2003, where he was given his first reliable photographic cameras. At the same year he attended lessons in Photography in the Hellenic Photographic Society, the most historical Greek Association (it was published in 1952) for one year and graduated in May 2004. He also became a member of Hellenic Photographic Society and 3 years later he became member of the Council. From 2009 until 2011 he has been Curator and from 2011 until today he has been the Manager Operator of the Society. 2013 takes the place of member of Board of Directors again. During the same year he attended lessons in nude photography with the well-known teacher Stathis Efstathiades and graduated with very high mark (17,5).

He travels a lot to find his topics that mostly have to do with Humans in their everyday actions or Street photography.

2005 was a very important year for him because he was formally invited by the Chinese Photographic Society to attend a photographic festival in the southern part of the country, met a lot of multi awarded and experienced professional photographers of all over the world and learned so useful information about artistic Photography. He also wins his first National prize and attends with optimism the future.
