About Me

Short Bio

I was born in 1981 in Athens, Greece, where I still live and work. I chose computer programming as my main occupation for income purposes, but photography has always been my passion. Ironically, it was technology that did make photography affordable to the masses.

At 2003 I bought my first digital camera (a 4 MPixels HP compact) and since 2009, with my first DSLR, I started delving into the world of (art) photography. In order to learn more about it, I chose the pragma.gr private school and was taught by Thanos Papadopoulos (who also took the B&W photo of me on this page).

Since then, I have taken part in numerous exhibitions and my photographs have been published in press and the internet, as you can see in the "Publications" tab.

In 2024, I decided to take a break from the "Social Media Addiction" that had consumed me and I have stopped producing content. Noone knows what the future holds, but for now I will focus on other hobbies and get myself back together (TBU).
