Pioneering Greeks – Nicholas Samaras, Underwater Photographer

Welcome to “Pioneering Greeks”, the new weekly column of GTP Headlines, which highlights the Greeks that stand out for their creative thinking in the business world. “Pioneering Greeks” is a collaboration between LoveGreece.com and Greek Travel Pages (GTP).

This week we introduce Nicholas Samaras, an award winning photographer and one of the most passionate and committed underwater photographers in both Greece and abroad.
International awards to his name include Festival Mondial De L’ Image Sous Marine, Scuba Diving Magazine, International Annual Contest (USA), “Through The Lens” SDAA/MIDE International Competition and many more. He has also contributed to the National Geographic Magazine and several international publications editions including Discovery Channel Magazine.

The basic elements of his work include special diving and photographic equipment, endless hours under the water and minimum digital image correction/enhancement. Nicholas aims to highlight the hidden underwater beauty and the special aesthetic effect that arises when the water “enters” a photo.

Inspired by the dynamism and creativity of the Greek entrepreneurial spirit, LoveGreece was founded in 2013 as an initiative to boost and promote the country’s image abroad by profiling talented and successful Greeks. With their ethos and vision, Greece’s entrepreneurs and professionals are an important aspect of the country worth highlighting to the world. LoveGreece is powered by Gina Mamidaki, the founder of the G & A Mamidakis Foundation.
