" meraki... This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe what happens when you leave a piece of yourself (your soul, creativity, or love) in your work. When you love doing something, anything, so much that you put something of yourself into it "
It takes hard work to be original and authentic and set yourself a part in the saturated market of Photographers. It takes creativity, imagination, research, endless hours in the studio, before, during and after a shoot... and lots of passion (which comes naturally for me).
Where does it start for me...
I started of with making my own props, head pieces, accessories, etc. and realized that the only way I can feed my creative addiction is to really create unique portraits where the look and feel and the theme for every shoot is completely different from the next. It inspires me and allows me to push myself as a Fine Art Portrait Photographer, that in the times when there are no shoots coming in, I still am able to create shoots in my mind and creating sets before the clients are booked.

Behind the scenes of a Fine Art Shoot...
So before I meet you, I let my mind go on this creative journey of pictures, colors, textures,
moods and FUN ideas. I really put all my effort and passion into creating something that is uniquely YOU and uniquely ME. Thinking of how I will capture the essence of YOU.
Allowing my Signature Style to come through.
Below are some images of how I create my dream background, sets, props and wardrobe.
I SEE the picture first...and if I can see it, I am sure I can create it.
For example the specific pink dress (above) was created by five different pieces of garments to create one dress for one look, that I used for a Frida Kahlo themed shoot.
I am very excited about my future clients...
I look forward to meeting you all....
