Landscape nominee

Iceland is said to be the Mekas landscape for photographers. It is considered as the country of fascinating contrasts. Broadly known as "The Land of Fire and Ice", it is home to both a portion of the biggest ice sheets in Europe, and probably the most active volcanoes on the planet.
Iceland is the place where there is light and dimness, where long summer days with almost 24-hours of daylight are counterbalanced by short winter days.
Icelandic scenenery still remains for all intents and purposes untouched by human progress.

I was born in 1983 in Zakynthos, Greece. My main studies were in engineering, but I also attended lectures at "Focus school of Art Photography" in Athens.

I have participated in many art exhibitions, both in Greece and abroad. One of them was the APhf 2010, where I received the title "Young Greek Photographer" by the Hellenic Center for Photography. Furthermore, in 2014, my work was exhibited in one of the most prestigious galleries in New York, Agora Gallery.

Furthermore I was finalist at Travel Photography Awards 2016 (TPOTY) in the portfolio section "Land Sea Sky".
