Epically Surreal Landscapes

Greek Photographer George Christakis Captures Breathtaking Scenes

— June 6, 2013 — Fashion
George Christakis boasts a body of photographic works that will blow people's minds away. Combining subtly surreal elements with breathtaking landscape scenes, the images look like something out of a fantasy film. In fact, the scenes are as cinematic as those in the recently released, Joseph Kosinski-directed movie 'Oblivion.'

Born in Crete and merely 24 years of age, George Christakis is already renowned in the industry for his masterful work. Although it cannot be denied that each of his images have been retouched, George Christakis has manipulated them so skillfully, that a person could dismiss the slight stylization and imagine that they are truly real.

From cloud-soaring hot air balloons to epic human adventures, George Christakis delves into various themes and subjects.
