Bio

 

   Born, raised and currently living in Athens, Greece, Christos started in photography as a  self-taught amateur. He was introduced to this art, through the “magic” of the darkroom, by a friend during a visit to Southern France in 1981.

   During 1987-1994 worked as a professional covering mainly weddings and social events, shooting both photo and video. Also, he started experimenting with lithographic film and did some personal photo work in black/white and color. Major influences include Andre Kertesz, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brett Weston as well as certain aspects of the Bauhaus aesthetic.

   From 1995 to 2010 worked on video post-production, doing motion graphics, animation and effects. These years helped him recognize the power of post-capture processing as a tool. Yet, most of this video-post period he did photography occasionally.

   In 2008 Christos realized that his passion was still (pun intended) photography, for his personal expression as well as pleasure. Since then he gives a lot of his time and works consciously on this deep calling.
