The lens of Zahos is that of the architect. It focuses on the whole or the detail of this material. We attempted this because we believe that the lens of Aristotelis Zahos has a significant peculiarity. It is not about subjects that any photographer, known or unknown, randomly chooses or selects based on journalistic, social, or cultural criteria.
The lens of Zahos is that of the architect. It focuses on the whole or the detail, aiming each time to capture the city, the monument, the fountain, in such a way that it can be used as a research and study element. It does not attempt to beautify its subject or play with shadows. His photographs resemble architectural sketches; they are tools of work. At the same time, however, they possess a unique strange charm.
The album with the photographs of Aristotelis Zahos is not just another album about Thessaloniki. It is something different. While it presents unique documents of the lost Thessaloniki and provides architects and historians with new elements for research, it is equally captivating and interesting for the layperson, guiding them by the hand as they walk through early 20th century Thessaloniki, stopping in front of the castle walls, the fountains, the small churches, and the Ottoman mosques.
