Fueled by an ‘active inertia’, he confronts complex issues, such as authority and the state, mental illness, nudity and social norms, intending to invite a mode of broader understanding. Αttracted by Paradox confronting pragmatism and using suggestiveness as one of his main tools to delineate it, his thematic scope covers a wide spectrum focusing on natural human presence and intimate urbanism.” by Alexandra Athanasiadou, curator on photography & researcher in image theory.​AWARDS2010, Second prize winner at the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize in the National Portrait Gallery in London with his work Portrait of My British Wife.
