Curriculum
My name is Stelios Cleanthous and I was born in Nicosia.
I have always loved living by the sea and nature, so at some point in my life, in the mid 80's, I moved here, in the area of Famagusta province.
I am a self-taught photographer and the sea is the one I explore the most.
There are endless possibilities, it is also really difficult to photograph the surface or even under this beast in stormy situations.
Most of the time you will find me by the sea when it is a storm,
and when everyone else is at home and in their comfort.
When I am in the water, my heart beats loudly and my senses are awake…
Every drop of water is an alarm…
These moments are unique and will not happen again in the same way…
My purpose is to make you feel the other side of this amazing place that I call my home and to show you that with the blink of an eye, you will lose that particular drop of water, wave or color that will be created.
Some of the photos were taken in milliseconds.
I hope these photos make you feel more than my words to you…
Sincerely Yours
Stelios Cleanthous
