STEVEN MANOLAKIS
530 West 25th Street, New York, NY
US photographic artists have endlessly pursued landscape and geographic photography, leading to history-changing snapshots like Adams’ The Tetons and the Snake River. Steven Manolakis, a US-to-Australia expat, already has numerous photography awards under his belt, despite his young age.
He negotiates his medium format camera from bush planes and helicopters to seize the raw grandeur of the Great Southern Land. Inspired by the quantum notions of the Existentialist philosophers, he captures the wide-frame view of marine habitats creating an original school of photography that can actually be called “meta.” Viewers are pulled into the coastal tableau by the deceptively fine details of sand furrows and the filigree of stream tributaries. The deep, intriguing turquoise of Blue Dragon with its gnarling creek focal point sets against an arresting tiger lily swatch in The Shimmer. In keeping with his broadband artistic mien, he utilizes the medium-format in large part to create expansively-sized prints: he works in the large format of feet over inches.
Manolakis is a student in philosophy at Sydney’s Macquarie University. His countless global laudations include numerous awards, honorable mentions, and shortlistings for his landscape photography. Most notably, he was part of the official selection of the 2022 International Photography Awards and the Remarkable Work category in the 2022 Siena Awards as well as a finalist in the 2020 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition.

As an aerial photographer, I hire out fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters to capture remote landscapes from above. I prefer working with a medium format camera from aircraft to ensure the highest possible image quality. This allows me to print and frame my artwork in large dimensions. The images I take have been described as fine art abstract paintings. Sometimes they can appear textured by brush strokes and colored with paint. Not all artists are capable of creating art that transcends mediums, and I feel fortunate to have the ability to do so.
My work is inspired by a beautiful girl I met and fell in love with. Although we are not together, she remains someone special to me, and my photos try to capture the feelings I have of her. As I fly above a vast landscape, I attempt to find and draw out distinct natural features—things that remind me of her beauty, personality, and the impact she’s had on me.
