About me

About me

Pavlos Michalakakos

I was born in March 1990 in Kalamata, Greece.

My magical journey of photography began on a winter morning in 2012 in Maastricht, Netherlands.
It was where I found myself in a flea market and bought my first camera.

THIS WAS THE TURNING POINT IN MY LIFE

The beginning of exploring a world behind an eyepiece.

I photographed landscapes, night sky, I was involved in street photography, e-shop and photojournalism.
However, I was drawn by the emotion and expression of the human form.

Through my pictures I’m not seeking for perfection, I’m pursuing the real, I’m hunting for every tear, every laugh, everything that will make you smile in the future and reminisce about all those moments.

I adore the sun, I cherish the sunrise and sunset as well, that’s why I try to work with natural light.
I also find inspiration in spontaneity, I genuine smiles, real moments. This is what I am searching for in my pictures.

Welcome to my world!

Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.
