Vassilis Makris

Drawn by the subject, he switched his specialization to architectural photography and in 1989, started shooting private residences and interior spaces in Los Angeles, USA.

During this period he also photographed concerts by Vangelis in Athens, Paris, Rome and Rotterdam at the artist’s request.

In June 2015 he participated in the 4-day “Light Up the Night” event at the Stavros Niarchos Park with a one-man show, presenting 16 photographs from the “Incarnation” project, a work in progress that was completed in 2017 on the central stage of the opera house at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.

The photographs depict the preparatory stages of Isma Toulatou's “Opera and Fashion” project, offering the public an opportunity to vicariously experience and take part in the rehearsals and backstage action of the project, which was presented on May 19, 2016 at the Greek National Opera’s Olympia Theater.

In 2017, while continuing to pursue his professional career, he returned to the Leica Academy Greece, where he taught architectural and industrial photography and led workshops and masterclasses, until 2024.
