From My Camera to a Museum

This video documents the complete process behind a fine-art photograph: from the moment it is captured to its final presentation in a museum or exhibition space.

It is not about gear or technique alone, but about intention, editing, printing, and decision-making.

This is the same process I follow for works exhibited in museums and cultural institutions in Greece and abroad.
