Greece is diversity

Inspired by symmetry and geometry 

Inspired by symmetry and geometry 

Driven by a love of symmetrical patterns and minimalism, I have always found beauty in bright colours and geometry in nature. And it is the diversity of landscapes throughout my country that pushes me to discover more and experience new parts during each season.

Any destination within my country is for me a new experience and always expresses the best version of myself
Communicating happiness

Communicating happiness

My passion for photography started in my hometown and today represents life and destinations from above, in different scales and places. The intense natural light, in composition with the characteristic blue of Greece, corresponds to a happy feeling that transforms the viewer’s gaze into an enduring imagination for how beautiful, diverse and colourful our country actually is. I love to bring happiness to the eyes of the viewer. I think that this is what people need the most. That’s why Greece is my main theme in photography.

Searching for perfect secrets

There is a unique feeling when I visit each place in my country, where I take time to smell the aromas of nature, hear the sounds, talk to the locals and follow a difficult path to the beach, finding myself in front of total discovery. People who visit Greece will always be looking for that perfect secret that will give their trip the true picture of each place they are visiting. That’s the quality of my country. There are well-hidden treasures in Greece that only real explorers know about.

Nature as inspiration

Nature as inspiration

By combining architectural features of Greece with those of photography, the composition of each shot can be geometric and minimal and often the angle it is taken from can resemble a pattern. When geometry comes from nature, I like to capture the intense light that my country always offers and the sharp shadows that are created. I love to see geometrical balance and composition through photography and I really enjoy creating parametric versions of my city, Athens, to show its beauty, even in the more dense areas, which are full of life, and to create concepts with people and their relationship with their surroundings. I am always curious about how life and everyday routine can look from above in diverse places and landscapes in my Greece.

Why Greece?

Why Greece?

Today's traveller is looking for authenticity. Any destination within my country is for me a new experience and always expresses the best version of myself. Rugged mountains, exotic, pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters, green valleys, quiet lakes, hidden caves and lush forests. Greece has it all.
