GREECE ISSUE 353 Jul 2012

Anastasia Adamakis was born and raised in Alexandroupoli, northern Greece. She moved to Athens to study the art of photography at the Leica Academy when she was 19; she has lived in the city ever since.

Anastasia started her professional career as a photographer in 2002, first working as an assistant and then as a professional freelancer. She has been co-operated with magazines such as Maison Figaro, Vogue Casa, Casa Viva, Madame Figaro, Cosmopolitan, Idees & Lysis Gia To Spiti, VimaDonna, Vimagazino, Vimagourmet, F.A.Q., L’Officiel, Food and Wine and Vita Zeist, along with advertising companies, hotels and resorts in Greece and abroad.

Her interest and expertise focuses on interior, hotel, food and deco photography, while she continues to be innately inspired by the human element. Though her images and visual angle, Anastasia is eager to express a lot more than the recording of an image; instead, she wants to capture with her lens all the things surrounding us to be able to transform them into something unexpected. "Everything that lies and moves around us can be considered as art, as long as someone is willing to view it from a different angle."
