Nikos Economopoulos (Νίκος Οικονομόπουλος, Nikos Oikonomopoulos, b.1953) is a Greekphotographer known for his photography of the Balkans and of Greece in particular. Born in Kalamata, Economopoulos studied law at university and worked as a journalist.
Economopoulos only started taking photographs at 25 when a friend in Italy showed him a book of the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, which had an impact that was both instant and lasting. Cartier-Bresson "showed me a new way to see things. . . . What I saw in his work was not only geometry and composition, but a kind of ambiguity." ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikos_Economopoulos
