Today we present Flash! by Greek photographer Orfeas Sampatakakis. The ongoing series, which started in 2012, features vibrant, high contrast photos surrounded by a thick, chromatically relevant frame. Shot on compact flash cameras, the images themselves have a snapshot quality to them, depicting youthful, minimal, and subtly mysterious scenes of the photographer’s daily life.

But the project is as much about the color as it is about the images themselves. “It’s a little chromatic game that I’ve been experimenting with not purely for photographic reasons but also as a study of color,” he told Fotographica after finishing their week long #PhotographerInResidence. “For me color has to be a primary element of the composition – if color is not what I’m interested about when making a picture, it has no reason to exist.” To keep up with the project, visit http://flashhhhhh.tumblr.com/.
