"Shooting mostly hotels and architectural photography for a variety of high profile clients in Greece and Internationally, I work directly with both hotel owners, agencies and architectural offices around the world.

My clients include Aman Resorts, Hilton Hotels, Sofitel Hotels & Resorts, Radisson Blu Hotels, Swissotel Hotels and many others.

My photographs don’t only focus on geometry or angle, or about social use and interaction, but a balance of the two. I often include people in my hotel and architectural photographs to remind us that beautiful spaces are meant to be lived in."
