Atalotata-Images is a blog edited by freelance photographer and therapist Haralab.
Born in Athens in 1975, he devoured infinite film cans as an early artist and stretched godjillions of pixels as a freelance pro. Using a german Werra, some Zeniths, Kievs, Zorkis and Nikkormats he exhibited in squats, cafes and festivals and sneaked in as many arising photo-groups in mid 90's down-town Athens as he could, acquiring a critical mind and technical competency as a self-taught.
He holds a BA in marketing, a photography diploma (while in military service), completed an MBA in entrepreneurial management, and enjoys life also as a certified alternative therapist.
After leaving the marketing junkyard in 2003 he worked as a benefited unemployed before starting off as a studio assistant doing mainly catalogues and a bit of fashion - without ever being allowed to touch the Hasselblad though...!
While blending in with night-life freaks while in agency payroll, opened a private studio space in central Athens in 2006. Too busy to work in closed walls, shut it down in 2007, and engaged in gaining experience in various thematic fields year after year, thus undertaking projects in advertising, portrait, wedding and hotel photography.
He is currently promoting personal projects revolving around self-publishing, collective activism, documentary photography and mixed media while trying to archive his images. While doing this he tries to find a way to throw a big party for his friends and travel on Gaia in a VW camper.
He lives with Anna and little Ariadne in sunny southern Sweden.
P.S. Haralab always welcomes new and interesting projects as well as models that feel free to express their individuality on camera. Whatever the assighnment you are interested in, let me know in good time's notice.
