Theo Albanis

I was born in Larissa, Greece in 1982. I moved to London when I was 17 yrs old where I'm living and working since then.

Currently my work is portrait based mostly focusing on studio shoots. Photography always allowed me to visualize my intentions, it is helping me to describe what I am seeing when I keep my eyes shut. Thats why I am involved with photography because nowadays this medium can be so close to the truth and in the same time so far away from it.

I am not using my work to "touch" the truth not even to observe it. I guess I enjoy more being on the boundary between fiction and reality. I am trying to describe and to focus on needs and feelings, not on personal lives. Every concept I choose to photograph is an individual exploration of the beauty of every single little character every person is hiding - or sometimes just faking it-.
