About

Born in the States from Greek parents, and ever since my childhood I was blessed to breathe the atmosphere of three inspiring cultures: American, Cretan and that of the picturesque village of Plomari on the island of Lesvos.

During different periods of my life, I had a chance to live in the places such as Fairfield, Connecticut, Plomari on Lesvos, San Luis Obispo in California and now permanently Chania on Crete.

All those places and their people inspired me and left a significant mark on my vision of the world. They helped me to precise what type of lifestyle I would like to follow and how I could introduce it to the others. Photography entered into my life more than twenty years ago and it never abandoned me while I was developing a comprehension of simplicity and the importance of light in our lives.

I have always been an outdoor person. Climbing mountains, Para-gliding, Scuba-diving, sailing, running short and long distances, and even cycling professionally for many years around the world.

This involved a lot of travelling and lots of unforgettable images through my head. Everything in my life simple blending together and being captured by my cameras resulting in the outcome you can see now.

Residing in Chania on the island of Crete in Greece, allows me to bring into my photography the most precious element of my images, natural light coming through the blue skies and resonating from the beloved Mediterranean sea. I am a lifestyle photographer capturing images of people and their special moments. I have the privilege of photographing couples, families as well as individuals on the photo journey around places that always make their stay in Greece a unique lifetime experience. I am and I have always been faithful to my Greek-American background. I have been lucky to live around places that taught me what quality of life means.

Interacting with people is the most important part of my work.Understanding what each person or group of people want so that I can adapt my style of shooting accordingly. My love for breathtaking locations led me to photography of travelling, and exceptional angles of hotels and villas.

Actively being athletic still remains a necessity in my life and is the catalyst to a clear mind that produces fresh imagery.

Most of my photo sessions take place in the Western part of Crete, but I am always excited to be commissioned, anywhere else in the world.

The best of the best

Our wedding session with Andreas was an absolute joy! His infectious humor and optimism completely eased our nerves and made every shot a delightful adventure. He prepared and shared all of our photos extremely quickly, enhancing the whole experience. Each picture is so beautiful that choosing only a few for prints feels like an impossible task. We highly recommend Andreas to anyone looking not just for a photographer but also for an amazing storyteller ❤️

Highly Recommended!

We are so happy that we chose Andreas and his team to capture our wedding! We were excited to ask our wedding planner Anna (Crete for Love) if we could use a photographer/videographer we found online whose work we loved, and it ended up that they’re married! Andreas and his team made us so comfortable. They are clearly passionate about what they do, and the results are stunning! Thank you for the gift of being able to relive the most special day of our lives!

Laughter in Every Shot

Andreas did the photography for our small, destination wedding in Crete. Although I was a little nervous at first because we hadn't been able to meet Andreas before the big day (as we hail from the U.S.), Andreas immediately put us at ease with his sense of humor and fun personality. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being photographed by Andreas and his team, and highly recommend him. Thank you, Andreas!
