Photography

For nearly two decades, I’ve been shooting black-and-white photography, focusing on Greece — its people, landscapes, and history — and my own life here as a foreigner. It’s both a counterweight and a complement to my political work.

My images have been shown in exhibitions in Italy, Switzerland, Greece, and Belgium, and published by LensCultureVice magazine and Gente Di Fotografia, among others.

Three of my photo projects are below. I also made many of the images that illustrate the posts on this site, and I keep an Instagram account that I update when I can. As of 2025, I’m developing a fourth project.
