Life through Constantinos Anastasakis’ eyes

London based photographer Constantinos Anastasakis - who began his career as a photographer with Neos Kosmos - has spent the last fourteen years visiting the most vulnerable regions in more than 85 countries across the globe, raising awareness about the plight of children in the 21st century, and giving a face to those who have been overlooked and forgotten.

Costa founded the Our Beautiful Children Trust, which links businesses and donors with specific causes and deserving communities all over the world.
His vision is to capture the energy and spirit of the children of the world, bringing to life their hopes and dreams at an age when they are still untainted by prejudice and politics. With partner sponsor Varetika on board, global leaders in energy saving technology, they aim to lead the way in giving back to our most precious resource and hope, our children.

"By neglecting our planet we are also neglecting ourselves. It is time for us to rediscover who we truly are. Only together can we begin to heal the world. The healing begins by simply tuning back into our hearts," says Costa.

Costa has dedicated all his time, energy and power to this cause: "I have witnessed a world lacking in love, which is rapidly diminishing our point of reference as a human race. The thousands of children that I have encountered over the years have all but one face - the face of humanity".
Costa will be bringing the exhibition Our Beautiful Children to Melbourne's Federation Square later this year.
