I took this photograph back to a greek island

Chios

This cinematic documentary follows my journey by ferry from Piraeus to Chios for the opening of Caryatis Delta | Chios, an exhibition of my black-and-white photography at the Chios Mastic Museum. Before the opening, I returned to Pyrgi and stood at the exact wall where the photograph featured on the exhibition invitation had been created. From there, the film follows the final installation of the framed prints, the opening night and the moment the photographs stopped belonging only to my screen, my archive and me. For a long time, a photograph exists as a digital image. It can be selected, edited, moved and forgotten. But for me, it is not fully complete until it acquires paper, scale, surface, weight and a physical place in the world. Inside an exhibition, the photograph must live alongside architecture, light, neighbouring images and the people who move past it. It is no longer protected by the screen. It has to survive the room. This film is about the making of a photography exhibition, but also about Chios: its villages, landscape, architecture, traditions and the relationship between an image and the place that created it.

Greece’s Oldest Band Knows the Key to Mastery

Corfu

Corfu is home to Greece’s oldest marching band, and in this film, I uncover what this legendary Philharmonic Society of Corfu can teach us about success, discipline, and tradition. In this episode, you’ll see behind-the-scenes footage of the Corfu Philharmonic musicians and discover why their legacy still matters today—not only for Greece, but for anyone seeking inspiration and resilience in their own path.

I Went to Greece's Last Village for inspiration

Evros

In this episode, I travel to Thrace in northern Greece, looking for fresh inspiration for my photography. Along the way, I explore the traditions of Soufli, meet silk producers, visit abandoned factories, and reflect on how everything around us — even something as simple as a tie — can spark creative ideas. I also sit down with Dr. Andrew Farrington to discuss how ancient Thracian archetypes still inspire modern stories today.
