This series captures the fieldwork of winemaking at Domes Sergiou Winery, from winter pruning to harvest. To create a raw, timeless feel, I taped the front of the lens and worked in black and white, achieving an aged, tactile effect in-camera—no filters, no digital tricks. The images honor the land, tradition, and the quiet resilience of those who tend Cyprus’s vineyards.

Freelance documentary and commercial photographer, based in Cyprus. My work engages topics that deal with the outdoors, nature conservation and heritage. Coming from a Mediterranean island that formed the backdrop to my childhood dreams, I came to feel inspired by people, folklore and nature, and all the stories these have to tell. I hope that my work inspires others to discover and care for our world's rich natural and cultural heritage, and in this way contribute to its urgent need for preservation. When I am not holding my camera, I like to grab my hiking sticks and take to the mountains.
