From the Spring 2021 issue
Tolis Fragoudis is a Greek-Swiss photographer, filmmaker and keynote speaker based in Zurich, Switzerland. He runs his own production company, TolisArt, working as a creative director for international companies, sports events, tourism and corporate clients. His biggest passion is storytelling, and he travels the world to explore the beauty of culture, nature and humans. His documentary Spiritual India is a deep and emotional look at Indian culture, but he has also produced other works while travelling through Nepal, Mexico, Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Norway and, more recently, Namibia. He firmly believes that humans naturally do not want to destroy beautiful things and he considers it his duty to inspire others to become conscious about how we treat this world. Photography and filmmaking are very strong instruments, and when used in the right way, they can contribute towards a better world. Tolis says: “If people flower from within, they clearly understand how they are connected to everything.”
Tolis spent almost a month in Namibia with his girlfriend, Regine, and used the opportunity to put his new Sony equipment to the test. He also did some location scouting with the idea to discover Namibia’s potential as a destination for photo tours. These are images from his trip.
