Georgos Mavidis photographer and filmmaker based in Thessaloniki, Greece and classic beauty Duygu are turning our heads.
“Beauty catches my eye. It really does. Not just girls. Locations, objects and almost anything that stands under beautiful light can look pretty. That’s the very reason for me to press the button. The desire for seeing, and the pleasure I get from it.
When Duygu was introduced to me by a fellow photographer, George Stratigis, I surely had to lens her. Given the fact that she or I would have to travel for a shoot I considered it a pity to just do one thing. We spent four days together in Thessaloniki and Chalkidiki making this project that sort of came out as a four season concept. I hope you will enjoy looking at it.”
Cheaper: Alex Hill, 24, lives on his van to save rent in London
A young professional reckons he has found a solution to the housing crisis - by permanently living in his van.
Alex Hill, 24, claims he saves up to £1,000 a month parking his blue van on side roads where he sleeps.
The only downside is that there is no running water, so Alex has to try his best not to drink any water after 7pm - so he doesn't need to go to the toilet.
Alex, who never intended to live in a van, now swears by his new lifestyle.
Speaking to student newspaper The Tab, he said: "I was planning to cycle around Europe for a few months last summer and had already handed in the notice for my flat.
"The plan was to stay with friends until I got another flat, but I decided to try out living in my car for a few weeks and showering at work."

Home: Alex decided to save on the rent and live in a van
Alex, who works for an IT firm in the city, put a bed in the back of the van, and made it habitable with a solar powered generator.
He even has a small heater to keep himself warm at night.
Alex has been living in the van since September and even checked that what he's doing is legal.
There are no laws against sleeping in your car or in the back of a van.
Alex, originally from Teweksbury, Gloucestershire, said that police might occasionally knock on the window to see what's going on - but that's all.

Better off: Alex says he has more money to go out with friends
The savings Alex makes means that he has plenty of money to do more things with his friends.
He said: "Being in my van, every night I can go out with friends and generally just do more stuff.
"It's much more fun than cooking for one, watching shit TV and then sleeping for £600 a month rent. I can enjoy London and still have spare money.

No toilet: But the downside is that he can't drink after 7pm and uses supermarket loos
Alex said he's never had a problem parking in Clapham, Brixton or anywhere in Islington where he can visit friends and camp outside after.
"I wouldn't recommend it to everyone," he added. "The most important thing for me was that I could still shower every day at the office, but it depends what you feel you need.
"If you can fill up every single evening a week and effectively just have a place to sleep, then sure, go for it."
A neighbour who heard screams was concerned enough to call police and was told to call back if the screaming carried on
A scantily-clad woman tempted a man back to her bedroom and asked for sex in the hope she would be impregnated and able to stay in the UK, a court has heard.
Married Jose Yampanya, 38, claimed the woman threatened to cry rape if he didn't succumb to her demands as she stripped down to her just underwear, Bristol Crown Court heard.
He told the court the woman pleaded with him "please Jose, help me" and asked him to have unprotected sex with her.
When Mr Yampanya, of Bedminster, Bristol refused - she screamed, he told the jury.
Mr Yampanya faces a charge of attempted rape, which he denies.
He told the court he had helped the woman, who he met through the church, and they spent time together when his wife and children were visiting the Congo.
On the Saturday before the alleged rape he told how he stayed at the woman's home and she tried to instigate intimacy.
Via a French interpreter he told the jury: "She was forcing me to sex. I wanted sex with a condom. She didn't want sex with a condom.
"She was saying 'If you don't do it I will call the pastor to tell him you want to make love with me by force, or I'll call the police'."
The following Monday Yampanya said he took the woman to a post office in The Galleries, so she could collect her benefit money.
On the way back to the car she bought sandwiches and an energy drink, he said, telling him: "You will need your energy later on."
Yampanya said that they returned to the home and, as they went into the kitchen, she unbuttoned her blouse and exposed her breasts to him.
He said: "I told her to stop. It was too early. I knew she was looking for sex. That's why we went to her house, it was for sex."
When the woman went upstairs, Yampanya drank a can of beer in the living room, the court heard.
She then shouted down for help but he stayed put, he said, before going upstairs when she insisted.
He told the jury: "She was in her room. She had only her underwear and bra on. She was sitting on the bed."
Yampanya recounted how the woman kicked the door closed and they kissed and embraced, moving to the floor.
He said: "I wanted to use a condom. I had a condom with me. That's when she didn't want to.
"It was clear she was asking me if I could get her pregnant with a child that would support her immigration."
When Yampanya told her he would leave unless they had protected sex, the woman pleaded with her to help him, he said.
Then there was a knock at the front door and he realised It was police.
Yampanya said: "She said 'if it is the police, since you don't want to help me, I will use the word rape'."
The court has heard the woman went downstairs in a state of undress to find two police officers on her doorstep.
It transpired a neighbour who heard screams was concerned enough to call police and was told to call back if the screaming carried on.
Romanian Gregorian Bivolaru, 64, was jailed for six years in 2013 but has been on the run since 2004 when he was first charged with having sex with a 15-year-old.
A yoga school he ran gathered thousands of members and was involved in a huge scandal when it emerged it encouraged group sex.
An international arrest warrant was then issued against Bivolaru when he fled Romania.
He was subsequently arrested in Sweden, but the country granted him political asylum and he took the name of Magnus Aurolsson.

SEX: Agnes Arabela Marques lost her virginity to the guru aged 15
“In his apartment, there were constantly girls that were there to have sex with Bivolaru”
Former virgin Agnes Arabela Marques
Throughout the court proceedings she complained of being used to prosecute him and alleged she had been put under pressure to testify against him.
Another important witness in the case was Agnes Arabela Marques from Portugal who had a relationship with the guru when she was 15.
She said: "Bivolaru claimed that, if I had sex with him as a yoga master, I could achieve superior levels of tantric spirituality.
"In his apartment, there were constantly girls that were there to have sex with Bivolaru.
"With this in mind, on January 12, 2000, when I was 15, I had sex with him."
