Photography is an old friend who kept me company during challenging years. It reminds me to dream again, to have hope through memories and colours. It is the driving force that gets me out of my house and frees me creatively.
With the encouragement of friends, I feel that the time has come to externalise and introduce it.

I will talk to you about this old, trusted friend through Portraits and Reflections. We will explore different perspectives and together shots. We will also see emotions
that were created in me when I found myself facing my people with a camera in my hand.

How did I feel when I photographed Panagiotis or Katerina?
How did they generously give me emotions through a look, a smile, or a click?
In the looks, I ground myself with reality through the connection I create with the people I photograph. They keep me in the present, helping me live and savour it.

In the reflections, I want to bring the images out of me, give them form, and give life to the thoughts, feelings, and compositions that run through my mind.
I receive love, to give love back. Is this the power of photography? Similar to the power of man?
