Alexandros, Localgrapher in Crete

Style:

My photoshoot style is natural and storytelling-driven. I aim to capture real emotions and candid moments, whether I’m working in a studio or on location. I like using soft, natural light when possible, and I try to create a comfortable environment so the subject feels relaxed and authentic.

Likes:

I really enjoy capturing people and their connections. Solo portraits, couples and families are my favorite—I love finding the unique energy of each person and highlighting their personality through thoughtful composition and lighting. There’s something really special about freezing those little moments of closeness and joy. Every shoot feels different, and that keeps it exciting. Occasionally, I like covering small events or parties too—it’s a fun way to document candid energy and real-life interactions in a more spontaneous, documentary style.

Recommended places:

Living in Heraklion, I’m lucky to be surrounded by so many beautiful spots. I really love shooting in the traditional villages around Crete—places like Archanes or Anogeia have this warm, timeless atmosphere with their stone houses, narrow alleys, and earthy colors. They create the perfect backdrop for portraits that feel authentic and intimate. I’m also drawn to seaside locations—sunset sessions by the water or along the cliffs always turn out stunning. The light, the open space, and the connection to nature make those shoots really special.
