Despite the difficulties and the fact that his family wanted him to be also a lawyer he decided to work professionally as a photographer.

He came to Greece when he was 17 and he soon managed to show off his photographic skills in Greece and abroad. A person who played an important part in his first steps is photographer Markos Papakonstantinou from Kozani. Since 2010 he has been living in Rethymno, Crete where he works with photographer Sifis Kaloudis mostly as a wedding photographer. He has been awarded top prizes in international contests such as PreWedding Stories (PWS Thailand), Photo Wedding Stories and Wedding Art Photography (WAP).

David focuses on people. He is inspired by the good and bad that there are inside us. He strongly believes that no matter how hard things are if you don’t quit and fight for it, you will become stronger and find the courage and the inspiration for your next step in life and in art.

I was born in Thessaloniki in 1968, where I still live with my wife and our three children.

Since 1993 I have been professionally involved with photography and since 2002 I have had my own photography studio.

In 2007 I attended Yervant's first seminar in Greece and my photographic approach has changed ever since.

In 2008 I was one of the first members of the photographic community PWS (Photo Wedding Stories).

Since then I have been closely watching the best wedding photographers worldwide and every year I participate in conventions and competitions achieving numerous distinctions.

All these give me the opportunity to get to know great colleagues of mine, to get inspired and improve myself at the same time.

After all, it is my firm belief that learning is a life-long process and knowledge ought to be shared.
