"All photographers are artists, but I also take pride in being an artisan. An artisan is someone who skillfully and meticulously creates by hand, never mass-producing their work.

      My desire as an artisan is to make photos that are full of life and express beauty in an honest and organic nature. Tools such as film photography allow me to slow down and turn an eye to detail in order to document moments that are meaningful. For this reason, I am drawn to the disappearing value of the tangible. I advocate for printed art, as photos are meant to live not just on hard drives but in printed form, where you can touch and feel the moments captured."

      THE EXPERIENCE

      LOVE

      "I met her when I was selling concert tickets to a show I could not attend. I was smitten right away, and we married 16 months later. As the mastermind behind our business, Athina is indispensable.

      We have two vivacious children together, who keep us young. Though we call Portland, Oregon home, wanderlust keeps us on the move. We cherish traveling, connecting with new people, and savoring delicious cuisine."
