My photographic journey starts a bit differently than usual, by not “owning a camera since I was young” but by a hobby, I used to have since I was little. The curiosity of observation. I always loved to observe people, their surroundings and fill my eyes with pictures and colors. And this simply because a thousand words, emotions, smells as well as music and melodies can fit into a photograph. The biggest part of my cinematic style was formed by my love for cinema. Last but not least music played a big part in me becoming a photographer. Believe it or not, photographs have music within them. Looking at a photograph that evokes emotion is the same as listening to a song that evokes an emotion and these can be combined into one/become one: a photograph that brings to mind a melody or a song. In conclusion, I found a way to transform all the songs that created pictures in my mind by capturing little but significant moments of life. I used to compose music, but when I stopped I had to find a way to bring out all these images in mind, and that’s how my journey into photography begins. [Athens Wedding Photographer]

Before 6 years i had my first photographic lesson in a darkroom and the first photographer i ''met'' from his photographs was Cartier Bresson. That was it! From then until now i have the same passion, the same energy, and the addiction for photography. Very quick i realize that my two main subjects are the the human and the nature and one of the most beautiful things for me is to document one of the most significant moment in a couple's life. Their Wedding! So i became a wedding photographer, trying to imprint all this unforgettable moments of real beauty - the emotions, the joy, the smiles and laughter, the deep feelings. Always I'm trying to be a storyteller and a witness of your wedding day just because that inspires me and it gives me the same first feeling i had in my first lesson. I do not relish talking about myself further more, I prefer to let my pictures talk for me. All the best to all. [Athens Wedding Photographer]

One of a kind! Manos your work is every word of your motto. I believe that If someone is looking for a photographer to take photos at their event, then Manos you are most probably not that guy. But If they want someone to capture the moments, the stories, the emotions, then I cannot recommend you enough! For us, the memories from our wedding might have been different had we chosen someone else; and this is a such a special quality!

You exceeded every expectation!! it goes without saying that our pictures were awesome but one thing that we really wanted was to not be pestered for pictures all day. You did a great job blending in and managed to take the stress out of everything. You were fantastic, giving direction where needed but not over the top. The photos capture the feeling of the day and we are glad we chose you! Bless you Manos!!
