about
Afroditi is a German-Greek fine art photographer, born in Athens, raised on the sun-drenched island of Crete, and now rooted in Berlin. With a background in Law and European Law, she has worked across borders as both a legal professional and HR expert. Yet it is through photography that she truly found her voice. Her creative journey began early, and her fascination with image-making deepened with her first steps in Adobe Photoshop, starting with version CS6. Since then, she has been constantly evolving—merging technical skill with artistic intuition to craft visual narratives that speak from the soul.
​
Her work explores themes of feminine power, empowerment, and inner harmony, inviting viewers into a space of introspection, self-discovery, and observation. Strongly influenced by the Old Masters and their mastery of light, she crafts images that blend classical aesthetics with contemporary narratives. ​Her fine-art photography blends classic and modern elements. She often integrates her own sketches and paintings into her images. Dramatic lighting and rich colors evoke Renaissance and Baroque art. Her post-processing techniques create a painterly texture. Symbolism, storytelling, and a dreamlike atmosphere define her work.
​
Through her art, Afroditi seeks to evoke emotion and provoke thought, transforming visual storytelling into a medium for empowerment and reflection. Whether working in the studio or on location, she continuously pushes the boundaries of fine art photography, shaping narratives that celebrate strength, beauty, and the intricate play of light.
​
Afroditi has participated in several international photography contests and exhibitions under the patronage of FIAP and PSA, among others. Her images have won numerous medals, FIAP ribbons, honorable mentions, and salon plaques, earning her widespread recognition in the photographic community. Her work has been displayed in public showings and contest exhibitions, as well as published in print and e-magazines, and featured in the exhibition books of the contests she has participated in. ​One of her most notable achievements was the selection of her image OAKA, which was shortlisted as a finalist in the Sony World Photography Awards 2010 in the Architecture category. This distinction placed her work among the top in an international field. The nominated image was exhibited at the SWPA exhibition in Cannes and was printed in the official 2010 SWPA Book.

​Afroditi has been a member of the German Society for Photography (Deutscher Verband fuer Fotografie) since 2015.
