About
I was born and raised in Greece and have been based in Hamburg for over 12 years. Photography has been a constant in my life since the age of 18, running alongside a long professional career in business, consulting, and shipping safety.
Before focusing fully on photography, I spent over 8 years in business consulting and sales, followed by more than 10 years working in the safety department of a shipping management company.Throughout all those years, I never stopped creating images.This business background allows me to understand how companies operate — from workflows and responsibilities to safety requirements, timing, and communication needs. It also shapes how I work on-site: structured, respectful, and aware of real-world constraints
28 Years in the Making
For more than 28 years, I’ve honed my photographic craft. Today, I specialize in industrial, construction, and outdoor workforce photography, working with companies that need reliable, authentic, and visually strong documentation of their people, processes, and projects.
My photography supports marketing, documentation, recruitment, and corporate communication, with a clear focus on real work, real environments, and real moments. I adapt to each site’s reality, avoid unnecessary disruption, and work in alignment with safety rules and operational rhythms.
The goal is always the same: to create images that are credible, atmospheric, and practically useful for business.
Style & Approach
My visual approach blends documentary realism with a fine-art sensibility. I pay close attention to light, structure, rhythm, and human presence — even in technically demanding or rough environments. I don’t over-stage or interfere with workflows. Instead, I observe, anticipate, and document work as it unfolds, creating images that feel honest and grounded while remaining visually compelling and distinctive.
This balance allows my photographs to function both as clear documentation and as strong visual assets that elevate a company’s public image.
Fine Art & Street Photography
Alongside commissioned projects, I create fine-art and street photography photography series and prints, inspired mainly by Hamburg, New Moudania, and other cities I’ve lived in or returned to over time.
These works are closely connected to street photography and explore urban atmosphere, visual rhythm, human behavior, and body language. Many of these images are available as Fine Art Prints and Kunstdrucke for private buyers, homes, offices and workspaces.
In parallel, I occasionally lead small-group street photography workshops and photowalks in Hamburg, sharing my experience with photographers and enthusiasts of all levels.
Clients, Media & Recognition
My clients are my greatest privilege. Every collaboration is built on trust, empathy, and respect — whether I’m documenting complex industrial work or creating images meant to live on a wall for years. I approach every project with care, curiosity, and a commitment to delivering tailored, high-quality results.
My work has been featured in Street Photography Magazine, alongside internationally recognized photographers, and has been discussed through in-depth interviews and critiques:
These experiences reflect a long-term engagement with photography as both a craft and a way of seeing.

I’m based in Hamburg, Germany, and work with clients across Germany and, with proper planning, throughout Europe.
