7 thematic sections

Each chapter of the album is a narrative that describes LAMDA Development’s contribution to the improvement of daily life in Athens and Thessaloniki.

The artists behind
the lens

We assigned each of these 6 chapters to a different photographer. We invited them to immerse themselves in LAMDA Development’s projects and to interpret each chapter’s theme through their own personal viewpoint. The outcome is an artistic portrayal of 6 unique styles, each narrating LAMDA’s developments from a distinct perspective.
