About Yorgos
I'm a Berlin-based photographer and director with over 15 years behind the camera, working across food, brand, lifestyle, and events.
I trained in cinematography and spent years directing films before bringing that eye to still photography. That background shows up in everything I shoot.
I work with food and drink brands, restaurants, makers, event organisers, and lifestyle companies who want images that feel real and considered, not just produced.
Currently available for freelance projects and open to in-house roles. Based in Berlin, working worldwide.
