Haris Deligiannis: Vitamin D

“Vitamin D” is a photography project shot in Athens, Greece, between 2016 and 2020.The project’s title draws on the essential role sunlight plays in human life, much like the nutrient that gives the project its name.”Vitamin D” is a meditation on the role of light in both personal and public spaces. It explores how light can shift the focus of an image, creating mood, enhancing texture, or even suggesting narrative. In the urban sprawl of Athens, where sunlight can be both relentless and fleeting, these photographs reveal the way people adapt to its omnipresence—whether they seek it out, hide from it, or unconsciously allow it to shape their day.The project is ultimately about the human condition, expressed through the lens of light. By highlighting these fleeting moments, “Vitamin D” turns ordinary scenes into intimate, visually compelling portraits of life in Athens. Through this exploration, the project invites viewers to consider how light influences their perception of the world around them, transforming the mundane into something extraordinary.
