Photographed in Kastoria, this image is part of the Caryatis series.
Three subjects are arranged along the central axis of the frame.
The front figure stands closest to the camera, while two additional figures are positioned symmetrically behind.
All three wear the traditional urban costume of Kastoria, defined by dense decorative elements and structured layering.
The composition is built through symmetry and depth.
The central figure establishes the primary axis, with the two figures behind reinforcing balance.
The interior space is organized around two architectural openings, positioned left and right.
These elements frame the subjects and stabilize the composition.
Light enters from the right side, illuminating the central figure and creating tonal contrast across the garments.
The background remains controlled, allowing the costumes to define the visual weight of the image.
The photograph emphasizes structure, repetition, and alignment.
Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional female costumes across Greece through staged portraiture.
