About

My Name is Michalis Makri and I am from Nicosia, Cyprus. I have a university degree in Electrical and Electronic engineering and currently work as a System Network Management Engineer at the telecom company Cyta.

Photography has been my passion for many years. I have always believed that every picture convenes a special message, as much as any other art form does for the viewer. Pictures can address emotions more deeply and faster. They can create an emotion that may vary from person to person. That is why I also like pictures that provoke questions requiring the viewer to use his or her own imagination.

The first time I held a camera in my hands, I realized that I had the power not only to capture a moment in time, a memory, but also to tell a story. My camera becomes my brushes, my canvas and my emotions.

What inspires me most are people. This is my favorite theme. People carry their own stories, part of which you can capture through the moments of their personal or professional lives, through their eyes and their expressions. My goal is to capture the stories that you will discover through my photos. Join me in this wonderful photographic journey and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

I enjoy traveling in places where everything is still unspoiled, original and pure to capture the cultural and daily life of local people.

From 2008 until now, I have been serving the directory board of my company’s photographic club and been involved in the organization of numerous photo exhibitions and other activities. I have given numerous lectures/presentations on various photographic topics and on photo editing software.

I have taken part and have been awarded in several competitions and my work has been published in international magazines, newspapers and exhibited in many galleries worldwide. I have also served as a judge in various photography competitions in various countries. Currently, I hold the EFIAP/s distinction.

It’s my pleasure to have the opportunity to share with you through these photos a part of my work and myself.
