Dr Manolis Korres
It is always interesting to taking portraits of scientists. Through my experience, I have realised that many of them of them are same open and expressive just like artists. Dr Manolis Korres is one of them.
He was chief architect of the Acropolis Restoration Project, and in that position he directed the study of the construction techniques and materials used on its historic buildings. Dr. Korres worked on the Acropolis Restoration Project for more than 20 years and has published over 11 books and 100 articles on the subject. He holds a doctorate in architecture and engineering from the Freie Universität Berlin and is now a professor at the National Technical University of Athens.
His photoshoot for Blue Magazine of Aegean Airlines took place at the National Archaeological Museum.
Dimitris Korres
Dimitris Korres is one of the few engineers in the world that manages to construct a super car, the «Korres Project 4», capable to reach the level of limited production. This was the occasion of the photoshoot, to accompanied the interview by Apostolis Fotiadis for K magazine of Kathimerini News.
The phοtoshoot took place outdoor of his workshop in Athens. For this purpose we fired up the 7.000 cc of «Korres Project 4» super car! Then a short demonstration of its capabilities followed. It was really impressive to see a seemingly " conventional " car to do things that would not even imagined like standing up almost one meter from the ground, climbing, overcoming obstacles, etc.
One of these photos was chosen by K magazine to accompany the interview of Dimitris Korres that published on January 19, 2013 in Issue 555.
