Michail… yes Michail showed me his secret… Now I know it, but it is very difficult to make use of it. I still lack the training to do so entirely.

Michail… yes Michail showed me his secret… Now I know it, but it is very difficult to make use of it. I still lack the training to do so entirely. When he is doing street photography he is like dancing, passing gently by the subjects in such a way that you might think he missed it. At the end of the day you wonder when and how on earth did he come with those images as you have seen the same subjects and have been along with him the whole day long… His shooting techniques and the way he approaches the street photography clearly shows the powerful H.C.B. influence gathered with many hours of study. Coming back to his secret… he’s shooting entirely with his heart… that’s all I have to say.

The good thing about the whole flickr experience is you get to meet and view the work of some of the World's greatest photographers, Michail is one of them. He has the special ability of turning streetscenes, abstracts and portraits into the glory and freshness of a dream. Michail has the mastery of giving back to us … Read more

The good thing about the whole flickr experience is you get to meet and view the work of some of the World's greatest photographers, Michail is one of them. He has the special ability of turning streetscenes, abstracts and portraits into the glory and freshness of a dream. Michail has the mastery of giving back to us the awareness of things which have become the habitual objects of our everyday awareness. Every one of his photos is a visual transcendental masterpiece, easily one of the best streams on flickr.

I never had the chance to meet Michail in person, but after admiring his art, I feel like I've been knowing him all my life. Michail's art is visually brilliant and technically perfect. And by perfection I don't mean academic perfection but that perfection that lies within each of us, like a hidden gem. He k… Read more

I never had the chance to meet Michail in person, but after admiring his art, I feel like I've been knowing him all my life. Michail's art is visually brilliant and technically perfect. And by perfection I don't mean academic perfection but that perfection that lies within each of us, like a hidden gem. He knows how to dig it out and how to show things that most of us just pass by every day. His images are sometimes like a shout of happiness or a cry of pain, sometimes are meditative or impetuous or sensual or inner self looking. But they are never lifeless. His art is his soul and he lets us in. We thank him for this!

We all have visions, and a fortunate some of us can convey that in some art form. Your first step into Michail's work is to realise how different to your vision is Michail's work. Yet, there is a lot of familiarity. I want to say that Michail "beat me to the punch" -- but his craft and consistent excellent work tells y… Read more

We all have visions, and a fortunate some of us can convey that in some art form. Your first step into Michail's work is to realise how different to your vision is Michail's work. Yet, there is a lot of familiarity. I want to say that Michail "beat me to the punch" -- but his craft and consistent excellent work tells you that he did not beat me to any kind of shot, he is just good and he is going to do it over and over again. Please look through these photos and see how one can compose people in proper angles as if they were part of the scenery, or notice how some objects are presented as if they were human. This is not an easy thing to do, yet I see it time and again in Michail's work. Sometimes, consistency is a good thing to have, and I find it here to very pleasing effect.

Michail's work is consistantly excellent,it has a depth and maturity you rarely find on flickr,he has an amazing graphic eye and speaks fluently the language of photography,its technical vocabulary and its stylistic grammer. He is an inspiration and forces me to improve my game,repeated veiwing of his work is rew… Read more

Michail's work is consistantly excellent,it has a depth and maturity you rarely find on flickr,he has an amazing graphic eye and speaks fluently the language of photography,its technical vocabulary and its stylistic grammer. He is an inspiration and forces me to improve my game,repeated veiwing of his work is rewarded with gems every time. classical,masterful and intelligent,his photostream is a must for every photographer who wants to better.

It is redundant to talk about Michail's photography in praising terms. Stating the obvious is not congruent with M's photos. And after such a long and adventurous trip over his profound waters, meeting the man behind the viewfinder is like finally crying out "land". and a word from the wise: Δεν εδεσμεύθηκα.

It is redundant to talk about Michail's photography in praising terms. Stating the obvious is not congruent with M's photos. And after such a long and adventurous trip over his profound waters, meeting the man behind the viewfinder is like finally crying out "land". and a word from the wise: Δεν εδεσμεύθηκα. Τελείως αφέθηκα και επήγα. Στες απολαύσεις, που μισό πραγματικές, μισό γυρνάμενες μες στο μυαλό μου ήσαν, επήγα μες στην φωτισμένη νύχτα. Κ' ήπια από δυνατά κρασιά, καθώς που πίνουν οι ανδρείοι της ηδονής.

Michail.... He is not a lucky one. He never nail a shot by chance because he knows when and where push the button. He doesn't need high end tools to shoot, he always carry couple of tools with him,a pair of sharp eyes and a powerful mind....that's it. All his works are delicate like a love poem, in the mean time sha… Read more
