ABOUT

meet the photographer

I was born in Thessaloniki in 1980 and graduated Kalamari High School in 1998. I studied Food Science and Technology at the Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki and the University of Ioannina, Coaching at the Kapodistrian University of Athens and Systems Analysis at the University of Piraeus. In 2013 I studied Photography at the Professional Training Institute E.S.P. ​

I remember growing up with a camera in my hands and through it I was watching and exploring the world from the age of 7.

Creating and exploring emotions is a key issue in the images and presentations of my works, while basic elements of expression are also the materials I use for printing and constructing. I see photography as an emotion and as a stimulus, as a means of communication and a way of perceiving. It is a piece of art for me and it alters over time, as it has the power to change and evolve us, if we really want to, both as individuals and as a society. There is no doubt that evolution certainly gives us different perspectives.

Some thoughts and phrases that have influenced me ...

Tell me and I will forget, show me and I can remember, involve me and I will understand. (Chinese saying)

 

The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new. (Socrates)

 

​The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see. (Alexandra K.Trenfor)

 

​Art is made to disturb, science reassures. (George Braque)

 

​Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. (Albert Einstein)

You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at the picture for a second and think of it all your life. (Joan Miro)

It is an illusion that photoes are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head, (Henri Cartier-Bresson)

​Ideas are the seeds of imagination.

 

​The first time we see something or someone is unique and we can never have that feeling again.

Creation is a way of healing.
