I was born in Athens, Greece. Since childhood, I have shared my creative time between music, photography, and filmmaking — disciplines that continue to inform and enrich one another. Over time, cinematography became my primary focus, as it unites all the elements that drive me: sound, movement, light, and emotion.

 

My work is driven by a desire to understand the deeper nature of things and to explore the thin line between reality and imagination. I’m drawn to stories that balance intimacy with mystery, where atmosphere becomes a language of its own.

 

I studied Photography and Audiovisual Arts at the Athens University of Applied Arts and Culture. For over a decade, I worked as a freelance photographer, participating in numerous exhibitions and collaborative art projects. In 2015, I transitioned into film, working as an assistant camerawoman with acclaimed Greek and international cinematographers on feature films, documentaries, and commercials. These experiences shaped my visual sensibility and storytelling approach.

 

In recent years, I have been working as a Director of Photography, focusing on narrative and documentary projects that explore emotion, identity, and the poetic dimension of reality. My works have received distinctions and awards at film festivals in Greece and abroad.
