I was born in Greece but moved to Scotland in 1997. Coming from a warm climate, my first impressions were of how wet this country was! Needless to say, my initial perception of Scotland being one big puddle of dampness evaporated like dew drops in the morning sun as soon as I started visiting the Highlands. I was overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of Northern Scotland, which rekindled my fascination with photography.

Like many other photographers, I realised that after starting a family, I no longer had the time to dedicate to photography. However, this eventually began to change as my children grew up. After falling in love with the Scottish countryside, I purchased my first SLR film camera, and this is where it all began. I am now shooting digital with a full-frame Canon DSLR.

What is it that I love so much about photographing natural landscapes? I cherish the feeling of being humbled by the beauty and majesty of various locations. I also adore the quality of natural light as it reveals every part of a scene, particularly during the ‘Golden Hours,’ and the challenges that Scotland’s weather can present. Do I have a favourite location? Not really; I am content to be wherever there is beauty, and beauty can be found all around me.

In 2011 I founded Landscape Photography Magazine. At a later stage, I also published Wild Planet Photo Magazine. I am the editor and writer for the publication.
