• Moon AntsThis close-up photo was shot on a fallen bole with ants working on it. The tree was very alike to the moons’ surface and the ants looked like aliens on it. This photo was taken on a Canon G9 and then was edited in Adobe Photoshop.
• Lavrio the Rumble of TimeLavrio is among the most ancient and significant mining sites in the Mediterranean and in Europe as a whole; the mines have determined its historical fate up to the present day. This Photo Album contains hundreds of rare photos since the Industrial Revolution and texts of great historical matter and depth in analysis.
• Harley Street Healthcare ClinicCollagen Drink & Face Cream packaging design for Harley Street Healthcare Clinic in London.
• Deree - The American College of GreeceA series of print ad campaigns for Deree | The American College of Greece. I was assigned by Mullen Lowe Athens agency to create the key visuals for 3 campaigns and design their print ads. The key visual of the first ad (slide 1) was the most challenging because we obviously couldn’t arrange for photo shoot with a lion and a sheep. I had to spent lots of time to find suitable photos with similar light conditions in order to create a convincing result. Then i used Adobe photoshop to blend the 2 photos together and enhance the visual with extra drawing. For the second ad’s key visual (slide 2) we took photos of a coffee bean, sea sponge and a dumbbell. The brief was to shape human brains out of these items and this is what we did. Apart from the coffee bean which looks almost like a brain, we manipulated the sea sponge and the dumbbell in photoshop. Finally, in the last ad (slide 3) i took a photo of a book, found slides of business class people in the position we wanted and other elements to create the elevator, followed by lots of drawing in photoshop.​​​​​​​
• Gollum3D installation of J.R.R Tolkien’s Gollum. The skeleton of this 50cm model was built with cables and wooden sticks and then molded with white plaster. When the plaster got dry was primed and then painted with airbrush and paintbrush.
