I was born and raised in Athens, Greece. Living in such a busy, fast-paced city where stress and responsibilities are part of daily life, I turned to photography as a form of expression and escape.  I took many photos, the classic "everyday" photos that everyone captures until 2011 when I started to explore photography more deeply and realized that for me, photography is actually a way of life. I'm self taught, starting from zero and gradually developing my skills and the technicalities of photography. I'm not a professional, just a passionate photographer with a full-time job and a wonderful family.  Landscape photography has developed into a passion, and I consider myself lucky to live in a country that offers great variety and diversity of natural landscapes.  A trek on a mountain or a coastal area satisfies me like nothing else. Photography and nature is unique combination and this beauty is what I try to convey through my photos.

 

My equipment

 

I work with Canon cameras and lenses. Currently I use a Canon 5D mark III.

Concerning lenses, I use an EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM, an EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM, an EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM and a Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Macro DI. My tripod is a Manfrotto MK190 XPRO3 Aluminum with 496RC2 Ball Head. I use Nisi filters. I protect and carry my equipment in Lowepro and Osprey backpacks.
