Born in 1975 in northern Greece. He relocated with his family to Essen, Germany, where he got to know the German Photography School of Düsseldorf, a major influence on his later work. He studied sociology at the University of Crete, Greece, from 1992 to 1997. He moved to London in where he studied photography at the Camberwell College of Arts. He returned to Athens in 2003 and has been working as a freelance photographer ever since.
