Hipstamatic remains, to this day, one of the most popular apps in the App Store and its standing is mainly thanks to its dynamic and passionate community. It\u2019s a community that stands out because of its creativity, diversity, generosity and uniqueness. \u00a0One of the goals of Hipstography is to show the diversity of possibilities offered by Hipstamatic, but also to create connections and exchanges between the members of this community.<\/h4>\n

At the end of May, Mario Estrada contacted me to let me know he\u2019d be in Greece for a few weeks in June. \u00a0As I\u2019d never been to Greece before, I decided that a little trip to Athens was in order and also the opportunity to see Mario, Polina and Stavros again. Not one, not two, but a hipstameet of two lenses and two films was created!<\/h4>\n

And so, I spent a few days in the company of this fine team and, as things go, we decided that our little Hipstameet should be immortalized with a\u00a0collection of new combos. So\u2026 we are pleased to, hereby, introduce: The Hellenic Collection<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n

\"The-Hellenic-Collection-Packaging\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For this sixth collection of Hipstography<\/strong><\/em> combos (the other collections can be found here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>), I wanted to approach things differently and I gave Polina, Stavros and Mario \"carte blanche\". Their mission: suggest a combo that highlights this 2018 summer. With great joy we present Empedocles<\/strong>, Pythagoras<\/strong>, Thales<\/strong> and Gorgias<\/strong>. A tribute to four Greek Presocratic philosophers and a collection that, we hope, will allow you to eternalize your summer memoirs.<\/p>\n

Empedocles by\u00a0Stavros Dimakopoulos<\/h3>\n

\"According to philosopher Empedocles (495-435 B.C.), the entire universe consists of four primordial elements: earth, air, fire and water. The equally significant primordial forces of love and hate, in turn, influence these elements. The gear we chose for this combo reveals all four elements in each individual photo, through a visually astute and constant game of variations. The purity of the Antoni<\/strong> lens, with its vibrancy, emphasizes the aquatic and ethereal elements, by offering a wide palette of blues - from sky blue and turquoise to royal blue - subject to the amount and quality of the light. The Dixie<\/strong> film brings out the fire on many levels and adds a playful light leak effect. Laser Lemon Gel<\/strong> helps to preserve the yellow-ochre details and reveals, in some cases, the hidden earthy tones. A little Empedoclean cosmos, a bit like using a toy camera!\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t
