My inspiration in photography has always come from the people and history of Greece. When I began with photography, I would walk the streets of Athens for fun and people watch. I didn’t know that it was called street photography. Over time, I grew a portrait and event business, began to photograph and learn more about the unique neighborhoods and incredible architecture of Plaka in Athens, and just went exploring as much as I possibly could. I read up on the history of Greece when I could and became a certified tour and workshop guide.

I have always been interested in how close you can get to other people, to see the similarities we all share. If you take away religion, ethnicity, and class, you strip down to the basic needs of just being human, we are all very similar. We share the need for love, protection, to take care of our families, and so on.
I like to explore this sameness we share, in a world where terror and wars make us feel so separated from each other.
