I’ve always been fascinated by the immediacy of the image and the power of the word! Thus, photography, videography and literature dominate equally my world…
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, I now live permanently in Athens, Greece, where I work as a photographer, video-artist and scriptwriter/novelist. My company PHOTOLEXI covers a variety of photo and writing services.
Photography:
- Since I adore nature, landscape photography has always been one of my main interests. I like to present dreamy and minimal elements in my compositions which evoke peace and tranquillity.
- In the portraits I seek to reveal the hidden aspects of the self and to communicate with my models.
In my line of work, I have participated in a number of group photography exhibitions and received various distinctions.
Videography:
- As an experimental videographer, with a flair for cross-medium expression, I like to combine still images, video and sound to create powerful and captivating videography. Since my personal world is co-defined by literary expression, I am interested in creating book trailers and short teasers, where I offer a sneak peak of the book’s universe and convey its feeling to the prospective reader. Moreover, I can provide you with photos and textures for your new book- cover and back- and assist you with the visual campaign of your book’s promotion.
My Writing:
And yes, I write…a lot! “Momentum Publishing Co” published my first novel A breath Away in 2015.
In 2017 & 2019, I wrote scripts and directed episodes of a documentary series for Television. I am also an active member of the Scriptwriters Guild of Greece.
In 2021 “Dodoni Publishing Co” published lipstick.
