Born in 1985 and raised in Athens. He completed his studies at the Piraeus University of Applied Sciences, Department of Automation Engineering, in 2012 — the same period during which he first became involved with photography — and from 2018 studied at University of West Attica, at the Department of Photography and Audiovisual Arts.

He has focused on photojournalism and documentary photography, collaborating with the domestic press as well as international agencies.

Documenting Athens during the years of the financial crisis and the refugee entry points into Greece during the refugee crisis marked his first professional stories as a freelance photojournalist.

Since then, he has continued to draw inspiration from the everyday human struggle for survival, bringing to light people's inner emotional world and thoughts.

 

Through his photographs he seeks to stir the viewer's consciousness — raising questions through the image and offering tools, particularly to less initiated audiences, to find their own answers.

He has exhibited his photographic works Football United and RIDE ATHENS at cultural venues across Athens.
