Profile Information

Current position and base (organization, company, etc.): University College London, researcher

Biography: I met photography in the New Years Eve of 1990, growing up in a small city in north Greece. Never had any official training but worked as a free-lance photographer in Thessaloniki and taught photography to students of the Aristoteles University. In 1999 moved to London to work in research in medical imaging to pay the bills, and decided to stop commercial photographic projects and concentrate on travelling photographic prose.

Travelling has one of the main roles in my work, inspired from the descriptions of the original travellers and from the comic books I was reading when I was growing, I have correlated the act of travelling with storytelling and storytelling is creating images. I guess it is hard to describe what exactly stimulates my shutter but I always look for a story or rather a phrase from the story, in each of my photographs.

I had a book “11x11” with 11 photographs from 11 different travels from the last 10 years published and my first solo-show in London, in Nov 08.

Specialities & interests: Travelling has one of the main roles in my work, inspired from the descriptions of the original travellers and from the comic books I was reading when I was growing, I have correlated the act of travelling with storytelling and storytelling is creating images.
