Βιογραφία

Γεννήθηκα στα Χανιά αλλά ζω και εργάζομαι στην Αθήνα. Σπούδασα στην σχολή φωτογραφίας Focus και έκανα αργότερα μαθήματα με τους Γιάννη Δήμου, Δημήτρη Τσεβά και Γιώργο Βουτσινά. Παρακολούθησα το μάθημα κριτικής του Πλάτωνα Ριβέλλη όπως και workshops με τους Νίκο Οικονομόπουλο, Jason Eskenazi, Βασίλη Γεροντάκο και Μάρω Κουρή. Τέλος έκανα ανάπτυξη portfolio με τον Βασίλη Γεροντάκο, όπως και στο Ελληνικό Κέντρο Φωτογραφίας με τους Κωστή Αντωνιάδη, Κώστα Γουδή και Νατάσσα Μαρκίδου. Έχω συμμετάσχει με φωτογραφίες μου σε πολλές ομαδικές εκθέσεις και έχω διακριθεί σε φωτογραφικούς διαγωνισμούς στην Ελλάδα και στο εξωτερικό. Φωτογραφίες μου έχουν δημοσιευθεί σε διαδικτυακά και έντυπα περιοδικά τόσο εγχώρια όσο και διεθνή.
