Urbanjoy.gr Article
On Noveber 2024 urbanjoy.gr posted an article about our community with an interview of Giannis.
How did the idea for the creation of your community come about and what are the needs it came to cover?
It all started with the creator taking group portraits for his portfolio. The idea of interacting with other artists filled a void that exists in every artist from time to time and that is inspiration. Interaction is important to every artist in every art form.
One after another these meetups brought more people. Then came the travel projects that most people wanted to participate in.
After two years the demands and needs are great but the longing for our next meeting is priceless. Strong relationship friendships have now been formed.
What is the purpose and goal of your community?
Purpose: the interaction of photographers and non-photographers through the challenge meetup, the acquaintance of our members through the travel meetup and the support of weak groups through annual photo exhibitions where the artwork of the artists become a charitable donation.
Goal: to unite photographers and photographic communities in our annual exhibitions.
We have a favorite phrase: “The world only exists when you share it.” With this principle, and our love for photography, we seek to highlight our art, to make it better known to the world, to interact with it. Let’s “use” it as the means to help people in need.Our community is for all artistic photographers with all styles of photography.

You can also tell us about its charitable purpose and its social action
Every year we create a photo exhibition with the works of our members from all over the world. The artists’ works are available for visitors to collect in exchange for a donation to the charity we support at the exhibition. We believe that the artwork of an artist can change the daily life of a fellow human being who needs it.
What are your plans for the future of the Community?
Soon we will create our own website and we want to work with more photography communities and photographers around the world.
We want business support to be able to create bigger projects and showcase our art.
