A ground level shot of Ophrys speculum. I took this photo in March 2025 on a mountain near Athens, Greece. I utilized some nearby grasses and shallow depth of field to give an impressionist look to my photo.

I am a nature photographer from Greece, mostly interested in macro photography. I got my first camera on June 2020, and since then I have been trying to explore the amazing small world, and make the best pictures I can out of it, always prioritizing the well being of my subjects. My goal as a photographer is to make people more aware of the beauty that is all around us but often goes unnoticed, and also learn about the importance of conservation and its major role in preserving our ecosystem.
