I have been developing and delivering educational projects since 2003 at various institutions (Visual Arts and Sciences of Arts Department at the University of Ioannina, New School Athens, Hellenic Centre for Photography - HCP, Athens School of Fine Arts, AKTO College of Applied Arts ). I value personal projects and I am mentoring other practitioners in developing and completing their projects. Currently, I am teaching the following courses - workshops:

Long term workshop
Every year I am co-teaching with art historian Kostas Ioannidis a Personal Project Development Workshop which starts in November (next Nov. 2023 - October 2024). In this workshop we focus on each practitioner's work helping him/her developing her/his photography project. The outcome is always a self-published book or a website or an exhibition or a combination of all these.
Max number of participants: 10
MENTORING SESSIONS: Portfolio - Project - Book Development
As an artist, I have experienced that personal projects and self-reflective practice bring personal evolution and satisfaction as they are strongly related with our interests and obsessions. In fact, they reveal them, revealing at the same time aspects of ourselves. The last years, I am mentoring various practitioners in developing their projects, engaging more critically with the photographs, framing their practice and expanding their vision and critical thinking. I support them in their decisions to complete a project for an exhibition or photo-book. I also support candidates to organise a coherent portfolio to submit for postgraduate study programmes.
I supervise and co-edit often together with Kostas Ioannidis the production of artists' books.
Intensive 3 or 4 days workshops on Fine Art Contemporary Photography Practice and Theory
I am delivering 3 or 4 days intensive workshops on photography practice and theory. These workshops aim at helping the practitioners broaden their horizons and developing creative strategies by creating a small body of work within three intensive workshop days.
I have organised and delivered workshops in various photography clubs in Greece on the following subjects.
Contemporary documentary practices
Night (urban)scape and the poetics of shadows
Visual diary practices
Exploring identity and other issues through portraiture. Distance and closeness in practice.
Editing and sequencing photographic projects.
