As a photographer I am a bit unusual. I know of only another photographer in Greece who is both biologist and photographer.
Born in Switzerland, I studied Biological Sciences in Italy and then I moved to Greece in order to work in nature conservation. That was 30 years ago.
For me, Wildlife Photography was back then, but still is today, a tool to reach the wider audience in order to show with beautiful images why nature conservation is important for people as well, not only for Nature itself.
For the first 15 years in Greece, Wildlife and Travel Photography have been my main field of action, then I started working on the "human" side of life as well.
Hence, after settling in Athens in 2009, I started photographing also Theatre, Music, Yoga venues, commercial, real estate and other subjects of the city.
Then, in January 2015 I was chosen by the newly elected Greek PM Alexis Tsipras to become his official photographer. And I am still photographing him today, along with all other projects I am working on.
