Despina Kyriacou is a Fine Art photographer whose creative journey began with her fascination for capturing the intricate relationships between humanity and nature. Working with a Large Format 5×4 view camera, Kyriacou’s process involves shooting on 5×4 color transparency film, which she later converts into high-resolution digital files. This meticulous approach preserves the sharpness and detail of the original film while allowing her to create stunning exhibition-quality prints.
Kyriacou’s artistic foundation was formed during her studies in Fine Art at art schools in Yorkshire and London, United Kingdom. In Yorkshire, she found herself captivated by the natural and urban landscapes, which became a recurring source of inspiration. During this period, she began exploring her surroundings with a medium format camera, which later evolved into a passion for large format photography. Her ability to distill complex landscapes into semi-abstract compositions stems from her early explorations and remains a cornerstone of her work.
