Photographer @Cristos Ferguson

Meet Cristos Ferguson, a passionate Greek-American amateur photographer whose lens captures the vibrant essence of life in the bustling streets of Greece.Cristos began his photographic journey under the guidance of the talented Bernadine Demos at an early age. However, life took him on a different path after high school, causing a hiatus in his photographic pursuits.

It wasn't until the birth of his son that he found himself drawn back to the world of photography, reigniting a passion that had been dormant for two decades. Since then, he has immersed himself in the art, capturing the beauty and spontaneity of everyday moments. With an unwavering commitment to his craft, Cristos has now dedicated 20 years to the art of photography.

Street photography has become his true calling, as he thrives on documenting life in its most authentic form within the bustling cityscape. His lens seeks out the natural habitat of his subjects – the city streets – where he skillfully freezes moments in time, showcasing the raw and unfiltered beauty of the urban environment.

Cristos Ferguson's photographic style leans towards candid portraiture, capturing individuals in the midst of their daily lives, often without their awareness. He has a unique ability to steal glimpses of people's souls through his lens, preserving the genuine emotions and stories that unfold in the cityscape. Rather than interacting with his subjects, Cristos chooses to observe silently, allowing his photographs to narrate the untold stories of those he captures.

His journey in street photography is a testament to the enduring power of passion and the ability of a single image to convey the profound richness of the human experience.
