All of the images are available on canvas as well as photo print paper. Kostas Petrakos personally makes each print, using the finest digital printmaking techniques. The images are scanned using a high resolution scanner and printed using the Epson Stylus Pro 7600 printer with UltraChrome archival inks.

How the photographs are made

   Kostas travels to Greece and the Greek Islands every summer. He uses a 4X5 format Toyo View camera with Rodenstock lenses as well as Hasselblad to capture images unto transparency film. Kostas primarily uses Fuji Chrome Velvia film which he finds to have the most vivid colors. He typically photographs the subject many times and captures the light at just the right moment. This requires him to take the photographs very early in the morning or at sunset.

   After developing the transparencies, Kostas selects the best images by carefully examining each image at his light table. He then scans the selected images at about 250 megabytes to preserve all the fine details captured on the film. Kostas then uses Adobe Photoshop running on Windows XP to further fine tune each image
