I was born in Athens where I still live & work as a photographer, specializing in portrait, theatre and advertising photography.

I think that my love for photography originates and my enthusiastic passion to observe curiously and to collect curios –a obsession which I inherited from my father-a keen philatelist.

My childhood memories from the mysterious landscape of the Campos of Chios -residence of the Genoese and the local aristocracy of the C17^th & 18^th- shaped my conception of the Landscape and ever since I am looking for the mystery and ambiguity in every space that I photograph.

I came across photography in Oxford in 1982 as a student.The same year I got my first camera and my first photographic books:“Les autres Ameriques” by Sebastian Salgado & “Ordeal by Roses” by Hosoe & Yiukio Mishima;both influenced my oevre deeply

I studied Town & Country planning and Geography in Edinburgh & London. I was photographing passionately throughout those years, but I was also thrilled by my studies through which I found out how to correlate diverse disciplines like politics and philosophy with Art.

In the early 80s I got introduced to the secret and allegorical space of Theatre: a world of underlying relationships and invisible coordinated threads of interaction. Ultimately,exactly like in Theatre, photography for me poses questions about space, people and their hidden relations. Photography is about exposing the hidden layers of reality. It is a series of optical philosophical questions; enigmatic and ambiguous
