While wandering through Gijón, Spain on an August night, I discovered this solitary figure sleeping on a park bench, strikingly illuminated by a single overhead lamp. The peaceful scene contrasted sharply with the bustling beachfront nearby, where restaurants and bars were alive with summer activity...

Born and raised in Athens, Greece, I've spent years documenting the soul of cities—both my hometown's ancient-meets-modern energy and the vibrant pulse of Spain, where I frequently work. My Spanish family roots me to Madrid's bustling plazas and Asturias' moody coastlines. My photography captures raw, unscripted moments; a split-second glance, a play of light, or a scene that distills the beauty of human imperfection. I mostly shoot with a 35mm Fujifilm compact camera, a tool chosen for its intimacy and spontaneity. It allows me to move unnoticed, freezing candid moments that feel alive—images that don't just hang on a wall, but breathe. My approach is instinctive, not staged, which means every print carries the urgency of a moment that will never repeat. Though I studied business in Athens, photography has always been my true language. As a teenager, I marveled at the fearless storytelling of documentary photographers; later, I honed my craft through visual storytelling seminars. This duality—pragmatism and passion—shapes how I curate my work: each print is a carefully considered piece of a larger narrative, designed to evoke curiosity, nostalgia, or quiet reflection. My photographs are for those who value art that feels lived-in. Buyers gravitate to my work not just for its composition, but for its honesty. They connect with the way a rain-soaked Madrid alley might mirror a viewer's own memory, or how a lone figure in Athens becomes a reflection of solitude. Limited editions ensure exclusivity, while my archival-grade prints (crafted with museum-quality materials) promise longevity. Featured in group shows at Athens' Blank Wall Gallery, my work thrives in spaces where art and authenticity intersect. When I'm not running my small business in Athens, I'm wandering cities with my camera, chasing light and shadow. For me, photography is about preserving moments that transcend place—a universal language of emotion.
