b.1979 in Greece
Born in Levadia, in 1979, I studied Mathematical Economics in the UK. In 2005 I moved to the city center of Athens.
In 2011 I attended seminars at Photo Circle, followed by photography class by A. Nasios in 2012, V. Gerontakos in 2013/17
and K. Antoniadis and K. Goudis in 2018 at H.C.P. in Athens.
I participated in workshops held by Bruce Gilden, Michael Ackerman, Jacob Aue Sobol and Anders Petersen. In 2021/22 I attended the mentorship workshop of JH Engström at Atelier Smedsby in Paris.
​
In 2013 I started working as a freelance photographer. In 2014 I worked for "Lifo" magazine
and from 2015 until now, for "Athens Voice" magazine as the main photographer and editor.
My interest is the interplay between various arts within the context of photography.
​
In 2024 i founded the art space Apeiron Studio, at Athens city center.
