Thank you to Four Seasons for featuring me yet again in their magazine in the article 'Cyprus through the lens' 

Below are the two double spread pages in the Issue 32 Summer 2019 of the Four Seasons Magazine

Got back with the team to photograph promotional material for the upcoming Lefkara Eliminator Race a cycling event which will take place on the 7th of April. So if anyone is interested in joining visit the official website here: ​https://www.lefkara-eliminator.com

The Cross-country eliminator (XCE) is a new mountain bike race format in which four riders compete against each other in each heat, similar to Four-cross. The two fastest riders get to the next round while the two slower riders are eliminated from the race.
The format differs from the classic cross-country race both in its sprint character and the separation of the race into heats. The 500m - 1000m short track itself is similar to XC tracks, going both uphill and downhill.

Hello February! I am very happy to have received two honorable mentions in the 8th Annual MPA awards in the category 'Travel & Adventure'.

Thank you to Hermes Airports for a seven page interview on their official Hermes Airports Magazine, issue no.2 ​

Super awesome of OWKzine an independent zine publication of Cyprus to feature a taste of my 'Red Soil' project.

Santa Claus came early for me this year. The 2018 Neutral Density Photography Awards have been incredibly kind to me.

For starters, the AUDI Campaign 'An island of wonders becomes a playground' received yet another awesome distinction gaining 2nd Place and a Silver Star in the Professional Special:Advertising Category. What made me even happier, was that the 1st Place in this specific category was also awarded to a Cypriot, Elena Paraskeva, so congrats to our little island!

Secondly, as my cyclist friends will agree, we are super excited about our collaborative project `Cycle to Discover` receiving 1st Place and a Gold Star in the Professional Editorial:Sports Category. This collaborative project reflects on the team’s joint efforts to inspire a pursuit of the outdoors, brought together by the shared love for the often-overlooked Cypriot countryside, and the need to communicate the exploration that it so discreetly promises. Travelling through the island’s rolling landscape, in the bloom of Spring, the dry of Summer and the crimson of Autumn, the team attempted to create visually impactful imagery, aimed at inspiring others to reconnect with the outdoors.

The Cycle to Discover team is comprised of cyclists Nicodemos Protopapas and Michalis Karatzis, and photographer Silvio Rusmigo.

Finally, my personal project Redsoil, aiming to communicate the issue of illegal killing of migratory birds in Cyprus received an Honourable Mention in the Editorial: Environmental Category.

​'Redsoil', my most recent personal endeavour, can be described as a series that communicates the issue of illegal killing of migratory birds in Cyprus by engaging in a post-mortem inquiry into the story of these birds’ unfortunate ending. Recently printed as a dummy book by OWK press, and while we are still in the process of securing some funding for its future publication and/or evolution, this series has already welcomed positive attention and recognition.  

Firstly, being my MA thesis, 'Redsoil' granted me a place as a University of the Arts London alumni and a distinction in LCC's MA Photojournalism and Documentary Photography. The dummy book was also selected by the International Association of Photography and Theory Photobook 2018 Exhibition, featuring the theme of Photographies and Conflict: Archiving and Consuming Images of Strife. To be featured alongside such amazing local and international talent, including my former professor, Lewis Bush, has been a true honour for me (shout-out to my fellow islanders Nicolas Iordanou and Emma Louise Charalambous).

'Redsoil' has also recently been the recipient of an Honourable Mention from the International Photography Awards 2018 in the Professional Fine Art, Still Life category. It was selected by editors to be featured in the LensCulture Art Photography Awards 2018 Competition Gallery. The project also received an Honourable Mention in the Editorial: Environmental Category from the 2018 Neutral Density Photography Awards.

I think I may go as far to say, let's keep an eye on this project...

I am so happy that the Audi Cyprus campaign 'An Island of Wonders becomes a playground' has been given another honor! This time from IPA 2018 the International Photography Awards.
