About Me

Unable to host from 16th - 28th of August.

CURRENT MISSION

Gather my photography archive and organise a photography exhibition.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Director Of Photography, Photographer and Camera Operator. I'm a storyteller using light and shadow in order to explore the power of the image, that to me, can communicate more than words. I always seek to excite the visual senses through my work. With my pictures I try to investigate the psychology beneath the surface of human relationships. I have an affection for portraits. I studied "Theatre Studies" at the University of Patras (Greece) and "Filmmaking" at the London Film Academy (UK).

PHILOSOPHY

3 words:
JUST BE YOURSELF.
