Description
Alex Grymanis grew up in the western part of Athens, Greece. His parents owned a sports shop where he spent time as a youngster, which gave him a sense of curiosity around athleticism.
Alex’s parents gifted him his first camera when he was at high school – which he used to photograph his friends skateboarding. Aged 17, he travelled to a glacier in Les Deux Alpes, France, for a month to snowboard, and returned with images he pitched to an action sports magazine.
He studied photography at IEK Akmi University, an institution renowned for arts and photography in Greece. Understanding the sport he is photographing has helped Alex gain prestigious clientele. He’s now an official member of the Red Bull Photography team, Canon ambassador and his experience has also led to working with numerous commercial and fashion brands including Prada.

Pigment fine art prints have a lifespan of up to 50 years or even more, depending on the specifications of each paper (OBA percentage, acid free, etc.). Acryluxe prints have a lifetime of up to 10 years or even more, as defined by the certifications provided by the manufacturing companies. ChromaLuxe Metal Prints have a lifetime of up to 64 years, as defined by the certifications provided by the manufacturing company ChromaLuxe and Wilhelm Imaging Research, without these being at the same time a guarantee of lifetime and this because there can be no control as to conditions in which the prints are exposed at the end.
These certifications tests have been carried out under specific exposure conditions, such as indoor use, no sunlight or uv radiation, 20˚C – 28˚C temperature, 60% humidity and absence of environmental or other air pollution. Any deviation from the above can reduce the lifespan and affect the quality of the prints. Under normal conditions of sun exposure (direct or even reflected), the lifespan can be reduced to less than 5 years. Photolab Athens informs about the certifications of each method by the manufacturing companies, but does not guarantee the lifetime of the prints.
