I studied photography at the Focus School of
Photography in Athens, graduated in 2000, and worked for ten years as a
freelance photographer mainly for Greek print media outlets.
My work includes portraits, reportage, theatre photography,
architectural photography. Among other work, I have documented the Lebanon
Israel conflict which escalated in a war in July 2006 and the Aftermath of that
war. I covered stories in Israel, Palestine and Kosovo.
When the economic crisis in 2010 hit Greece, and the media landscape
collapsed, I started to search for different ways to continue as a
photographer, I started to work with the Athens-based photo agency
Fosphotos, covering mostly the economic crisis and its effect in the society,
while working with foreign news agencies.
In 2015 I started to document the refugee crisis in Greece and the Balkan
region.
In 2016 I cofounded Athenslive, an innovative and crowdfunded media outlet.
I took part in the photo book “No direction Home” created by the Rosa
Luxemburg Foundation in Athens, and was part of the team who presented it in different cities in Germany.
