Greek photographer, a member of Magnum Photos since the early 1990s. Known for his work across the Balkans, Turkey and the wider Mediterranean, and in recent years for an intense engagement with colour. He replied to our fourteen questions in a single continuous text — we kept it exactly as it arrived, laid across the frames.
My mission in photography is to tell stories that evoke emotions, preserve fleeting moments, and inspire fresh perspectives.
I photograph because it allows me to express creativity, connect deeply with others, and explore the beauty in everyday life.
My goal is to create images that provoke thought and resonate with people on a personal level.
What makes me unique is my ability to blend artistic intuition with technical precision, crafting visuals that feel both intentional and authentic.
My approach is thoughtful and emotionally driven…
…relying on light, composition, and storytelling in every project.
Inspiration comes from nature, people, and daily experiences, with a good photo being one that stirs the soul.
I absolutely see photography as art. It’s my medium for cultural dialogue and self-expression.
I strive for uniqueness through experimentation…
…and developing a visual style that evolves with me.
Currently, I’m focused on a new series exploring unconventional storytelling.
While I often work solo to maintain creative flow, I value teamwork for fresh perspectives.
If I were to share my photography, I’d choose a piece that embodies emotional depth and storytelling.
My breakthrough series on urban solitude serves as a creative manifesto, reflecting my vision and passion for the craft.
