With a ring... that’s about how the fairy tale of life together starts. With a ring. A vow of faith and love, before the eyes of men, in the house of God. My camera prints my look at your new beginning. Light like the click on my camera button. Fleeting like the unique moment flying away.
I am a freelance photographer and videographer based in Athens, Greece. You will get to know me through the shots of your life, just like I saw them, like I felt them, like I recorded them.

With a print... yours. The day you become the heroes in your own play, I will be there. With you, among you, beside you. I record your feelings, the pale shades of your mood, from purple to white and back forth. From happiness to sorrow and back to happiness. I put together the treasure of your memories, where you will go back to recall, to feel strong, nostalgia and show the next generation the love which brought them to life.
In my dark room... the shots become image which moves, connects, restructure and unfolds into a film. It is dressed in colours, sounds and music. It composes the setting of the beginning of your new life. Ι go back to your moments square by square. I stop to details that show feelings. I step back to see the whole from a distance. I create putting my mark in your scenario. The result is yours.
For a wedding... yours. You are made up, have your hair done, some people shed a tear, some other laugh. The button may get stuck, a hairlock does not let go, the cufflink is not tight, the face powder imperceptibly tickles the nose, a bouquet awaits in the vase, the clock ticks the time away, the wedding dress looks gorgeous, you, him, each separately, until the looks cross and the lives are joined.
These looks are what I am waiting for. The moment the one is mirrored into the other. Each one send out its own signal, speaks its own language. These are the moves I record. The moment the hands are joined and bound numb. The moment the ring slides in the fingers marking a new beginning.
Browse pictures... and decide if this is how you want to see your moments, if you want me for the director of the film you star in. Through my own perspective your celebration, your wedding, your personal moment of happiness, the most special day of your life until today, your first day together, unfolds before your eyes.
