Athens Street Photography Festival

PhosAthens 2019. Version 3 of the PhosAthens Street Photography Festival

PhosAthens v3 – Three times is a charm!

Today we are very excited to announce that PhosAthens is back for the 3rd time

PhosAthens is the original PHOS Street Photography Days festival that started it all in the capital of Greece 3 years ago in November 2017. Since then the Phos franchise has spread its wings across the Balkans in Bucharest and in Sofia with plans of expansion to Belgrade in the near future as well. 

If you are new to the PHOS festivals, all you need to know is that it they are dedicated to Street Photography 100%, that is why they are called Street Photography Days. The word Phos {foss}, comes from the actual Greek word ΦΩΣ, which means light, and as we all know, light is everything in photography.

StreetHunters have been part of the organising team since the very first PHOS and we are still very excited to continue doing this! Our role will be to share news and information concerning the PhosAthens festival and to update you in case of any changes, before, during and after the event. An alternative source of info is the official Phos website. If you are a facebook person that likes getting your news through that platform, then make sure you like the PhosAthens Facebook page to get your updates there.

    Introduction

    I had the pleasure of participating in the PhoS2017 Street Photography Days – Athens Street Photography Festival last weekend as a lecturer and as a member of one of the parties (Streethunters.net) that organised the event together with iFocus, BULBphotos Collective and the SCP community. Phos is the Greek word for “Light“.

    PhoSAthens (#PhoSAthens), as we like calling it for short, is the first and only free street photography colloquium in Greece, made by street photographers for street photographers. You can find more information about the festival in our official PhoSAthens press release.

    I had high expectations for the festival, and I’m delighted to say they were more than surpassed! I enjoyed myself immensely and from what I heard, everyone that attended and participated really liked the experience.

    Here are the reasons why I think PhoSAthens was so much fun:
