ABOUT
I am Thanos Kokkinis. I was born in 1960 in Thessaloniki, Greece. I am a self-taught photographer and my first attempts at photography date from the early '80s. My first camera was a Pentax MX and I am still a Pentaxian. I use almost exclusively vintage prime lenses for their unique character. I shoot manual only in natural light never using flash, filters or other accessories. Just chasing the light. I love street photography of Doisneau's humanist art (first we talk then I click) but I also do landscape, portraits, nature and macro/close-up. I was a founding member of 'Out of Focus' photography club of Thessaloniki/Greece. I am member of the Greek Photographic Society, the Street Photography France Commnity as well as an Official Member of the Moments Collective Community. I have participated in 9 collective exhibitions of the Out of Focus club and 2 collective exhibitions of the Greek Photographic Society (2025 and 2026) and I have presented two personal exhibitions (Streets & People, Street Music) in Thessaloniki/Greece. I also participated in the Moments Collective International Annual Exhibition 2026 in Athens. My photographs have been published in Fine Eye Magazine, in Pixel Photo Magazine and in Pentaxians Yearbook 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and the Pentaxians Mono 2023 book. I have published 20 digital photobooks.
