"IS THAT CULT ENOUGH?"

All started in 2003 when i had the most interesting conversation with an old school photographer in Athens, en he really got me into. Got obsessed with knowing other artists works en when I'd met the work of Nam's Goldin, Corrine Day's, Larry Clark's, Terry Richardson's, Eugene Richard's, Araki's, Anton's Corbjin, en many others in the long run, that was it.

Worked as a cinematographer for 2 yrs (lighting man) en as a lighting designer for 5 mnths in a theatre, where I had the chance knowing most of the basic-needed technical stuff to begin doing my thing. My Photography is all about people; clothes rather fashion; music en performers; sexy expressions; attidudes en social groups that represent smthng. More than 5 yrs of my life been involved with street youth culture- anarchists, punks, neo nazis, junkies, neo hardcores, squats, free travellers ( just to name a few), so the style emerged from these images i got into my head.
Still influences are Terry Richardson, Larry Clark, Corrine Day, Juergen teller, Diane Arbus, Wolfang Tillman, Nick Knight en so on en on...
Favourite stylists that I would be honored to work with are Christian Joy ( Karen O's stylist en designer), en Pano Yiapani.
Favourite designers that i like their vision are Raf Simon's, Marjan Pejoski, Martin Magiela, en Rick Owens.
Models wanted; men or women; unique en beautiful; Half the people I photographed had never modelled before- Not so important. Awkward, real en shitty is always funny en cool for me. Seeking for women with really good wardrobe, drag queens, performers, bus en truck drivers, housewifes, hookers en ... Never be afraid to contact me
