“He meticulously removed any distractions like power lines or motorcycles, something I’ve never seen done as standard by other photographers.”Amber B., USA, Google review

Hi, I’m Spyros

London trained my eye; Greece taught me to slow down and really see. On Naxos I know where the light falls at every hour, which alleys stay quiet at sunset, and the beaches and viewpoints most visitors never find. I also know how to put a camera shy partner at ease.

I suggest the best spot for your style and the light on your day, then guide you gently, so the photos look like you, only more relaxed.

Questions

What is included in every session?

A suggested location for the light on your day, calm direction, hand edited photos in high resolution, and a private online gallery to download and share. Signature sessions add Photoshop retouching on every photo and two versions of each one. For proposals, planning the spot and the timing is included with Signature and can be added to Essential for €75.

How does payment work?

A €50 deposit reserves your date when you book online. It is not refundable, but it moves with you if you change your date. The rest is paid on the day by card, bank transfer or cash in euros. Prices include Greek VAT and are charged in euros, so your bank converts the amount. The dollar figures on this page are a close guide.

What if the weather is bad?

Soft cloud and a little wind often make beautiful photos, and I will tell you honestly whether to go ahead. If the weather makes the session unsafe, we move it to another day at no cost. If no date is left during your stay, the deposit is refunded in full.

What if our plans change, or you fall ill?

You can move your date once, free of charge. Up to 7 days before, any free date works. Within 7 days, only if a date is free during your stay. If you cancel more than 7 days before, the €50 deposit is kept and nothing else is owed. Cancelling within 7 days, or not arriving, means the full fee is due, because the date is held only for you. If I am ever unable to photograph because of illness or an emergency, you get a full refund and I help you find a qualified replacement.

When will we get our photos?

Couples and family galleries arrive in 1 to 3 weeks. Proposals include sneak peek photos within 2 hours and the full gallery in 4 to 8 days.

Where do sessions take place?

Naxos Old Town and the castle alleys, the Portara, Grotta, Agios Nikolaos chapel, and beaches such as Plaka, Agios Prokopios and Maragas. I suggest the best spot for your style and the light on your day.

We are camera shy. Will that be a problem?

Not at all. Most of my clients say so before the session. I guide you gently the whole time, so the photos look relaxed and natural.
