For as long as I can remember, Rally Acropolis has been part of the way I experience motorsport. I have followed the event since I was a kid, and since 2014, rallying has become one of the main subjects behind my camera.
I was first drawn to the rough roads, dust, landscapes, and unique atmosphere that surround the Acropolis. Over time, photography became my way of observing rallying more closely — not only the speed and the cars, but also the light, the movement, the people, and the environment around them.
My background in engineering and aerospace research has also shaped my view of motorsport. I am naturally interested in motion, structure, details, and the interaction between machines and their surroundings. Rallying brings all these elements together in a raw, authentic way.
This portfolio is a personal view of rallying — the cars, the roads, the dust, the landscapes, and the moments in between.
