Thessaloniki, GR Basel, CH Street Photography
Chris Tzoannou is a Greek photographer based in Basel, Switzerland. From a young age, he was drawn to photography — experimenting with different equipment and styles. That early curiosity evolved into a deep passion for street photography, where he found his true voice.
Today, Chris captures raw emotions and unscripted moments on the street, revealing the extraordinary hidden inside the ordinary. His spontaneous approach allows him to react instinctively, seizing fleeting moments and transforming them into visual stories. Each frame feels honest, intimate, and alive.
Shaped by cinema and music, his work often resembles stills from films that haven't been made yet — atmospheric, emotional, and open to interpretation.
He believes that travel expands perspective and fuels creative inspiration. For him, photography is about being present — observing, feeling, and preserving real moments in real time.
Cyan Noir
A cinematic teal preset that strips warmth and replaces it with cool cyans and blue-greens. Soft grain, lifted shadows, and muted tones that bring a quiet, melancholic atmosphere to any scene — streets, portraits, architecture, travel. Day or night, it turns the ordinary into something cinematic.
As with any preset, results will vary depending on your shot — a small nudge to exposure or contrast is usually all it needs to feel perfectly at home in your image.
Delivered as a .xmp file compatible with Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, and Adobe Camera Raw.
