Based in Berlin, with roots in Greece, photography found its way into my life long before I understood what it meant to me.

​

Growing up, cameras, film and photographs were always around. My grandfather introduced Fujifilm to Greece as its exclusive distributor and my father continued the family business. Still, for a long time, photography felt more like a business than something personal.

​

That changed in my early twenties, when a close friend showed me how to use my first mirrorless camera in full manual mode. I began to slow down, to really look. Taking my camera to the streets became a kind of meditation - a way to sharpen my attention and notice details, gestures, and moments I would otherwise pass by. With a camera in my hands, my mind feels quieter and more present.

​

Photography holds a contradiction that I love: it’s a solitary act, yet it creates a deep, often silent connection with the people and places I photograph. I’m drawn to street photography, candid portraits, and travel, where small, unplanned moments can tell larger stories.

 

While photography began as a personal practice, over the past few years I’ve also been working professionally as a freelance photographer, collaborating with an NGO and other projects. ​​
