This iconic exhibition celebrated the 20th anniversary of tours to Nick’s beloved homeland. It is a special, retrospective collection of Nick’s finest images over the years (both film and digital), depicting the spectacular beauty of Greece and the heart of its people. Nick has been proudly leading tours to Greece and the Greek Islands for two decades and has introduced hundreds of people to this extraordinary paradise. The body of work showcases the stunning landscapes of Greece and its famed jewel islands; the impossible colours of its waters; the distinctive monuments, churches and monasteries and the alluring smiles and warmth of its people. It is probably the largest single collection of professionally produced images of Greece currently in Australia and was a valuable resource during the celebrations of Greece's 200th anniversary of its Independence. Many of these images have won national and international awards and are large, colour and black and white; fine art prints, expertly printed by the leading photographic lab in Perth. The exhibition was opened by the Greek Consul in Perth and AIPP Grand Master Tony Hewitt on Friday June 25th - July 4th 2021 at PSAS Gallery To access this gallery, please click here.
