The Hipstography Awards 2016 – The Ceremony

From Samuel Gasc

To Stavros Dimakopoulos for his Combo #443

Concerning his series: "The concept of Make Beautiful even from its earliest stages as a project was not only to actively seek out the beautiful in the world around you but to take that found beauty and create beautiful work. So between Stavros’ careful identification and cultivation of a subject in the calm Halcyon Days of his beloved Greek winter to his judicious and crafty combination of lens, film, and flash, he has most certainly upheld the essence of what it is to Make Beautiful."
Samuel Gasc

From Mario Estrada

To Stavros Dimakopoulos for his Combo #443

Concerning his series: "Stavros always manages to create combos that are unexpected yet visually pleasing. His ability to pair colored flashes with interesting lens and films gives this specific collection a tonal quality that I haven’t really seen in Hipstamatic. It works perfectly for the silhouettes that he’s choosing to highlight in these images."
Mario Estrada

Combo #443 (Stavros Dimakopoulos)

Lens:  Mabel 

Film:  Otto 

Flash:  RedEye Gel 

"The pictures in this series record the "Halcyon Days" (calmer periods during the winter, when there are no storms) in Greece. Taken in various coastal areas, where people go to bask in the sun, go fishing or practice water sports,  the photos reflect this year's mild winter. The color palette of this combo consists of a yellowish base, provided by the Mabel lens, although there are various warm tones too, as a result of the RedEye Gel Flash. Otto film offers a considerably intense contrast, especially when shooting into the sun; the silhouettes appear to be rigid and dramatic, with heavy shadows, while the blue sky and sea are bathed in purple hues."
Stavros Dimakopoulos

From Hipstamatic

Concerning her series: "Lee’s understanding of light and shadow makes her an incredible photographer. Combined with the different BW Hipstamatic Films she able to create one body of work that is not only beautiful as a whole but each image has depth and nuance that make them individually interesting."

"It was five years ago that I learned about the Hipstamatic App and I was immediately captivated by it’s beautiful combinations of lenses and filters. As a child I learned the art, science and magic of photography from my dad when he converted a small bathroom into a darkroom, and because of this, I feel especially drawn to the black and white combinations, which remind me of photographs from a long gone era.
I have been addicted to taking photos on a daily basis, with Hipstamatic ever since, as I find that the magic of creating images in this way feeds my soul, whether I am in the beauty of nature or the often hectic environment of the city. This portfolio reflects my love of nature, people, photography and Hipstamatic."
