Overview

REGISTERED BUSINESS
Join this private photo tour to master street photography and capture the real character of this ancient and modern city. An authentic Athens city experience!
Athens is most well-known for its ancient monuments, mythology, and history. For street photographers, though, it has more to offer than just history. This bustling city has an urban metropolis feeling mixed in with all that past.
Power up your street photography skills with detailed mentoring on candid street portraits, witty observations, urban landscapes, and ‘decisive moment’ images. My 30 years of experience as a Press Photographer and tutor, immersing myself in every corner of Athens and having explored every facet of this beautiful art form, ensures that you’ll learn the art and secrets of photography and experience the city from an insider’s perspective. Either a pro photographer or just starting, you will capture stunning images of Athens to proudly share with friends and family!
