Hi there! I'm Manos.
I m a photographer based in Heraklion, Crete – Greece, specialized in architectural and real estate photography. I also have a passion in drone photography and 360° Virtual Tours.
​
My passion for photography begun during my studies at the age of 18. However, I started to take photography seriously since 2014. I was lucky enough to meet great photographers and teachers who inspired me to love this form of art. I had also the privilege to participate in several photography workshops from some of the best photographers in Greece. The areas that interest me mostly are contemporary and documentary photography, but my real passion is in architectural photography, because of the ability I have to reveal the unique elements of a building and its interior design.
​
My studies in Hospitality Management on Crete gave me the opportunity to travel around the world for four years for further studies and work. After my MSc in UK, I pursued my career in two different continents USA (Baltimore, MD) and in UAE (Dubai).
​
The passion for architectural photography emerged after visiting so many places around the world and meeting all these amazing cultures including state of the art architecture and iconic buildings. The "form" and the structure of the buildings and the luxury hotels I have worked, were always an inspiration to me. So architectural photography became a passion since then.
​
I also have a passion in history and philosophy of photography and I always go back to get inspiration from the great masters and pioneers of early architectural photography, such as Eugene Atget, Berenice Abbott, Bernd and Hilla Becher, etc.
​
My goal with my photography is to showcase the unique elements of a building (interior and exterior) as well as to demonstrate the architect’s vision regarding the relationship with the surrounding landscape.
