In January 2015, Greece faced a turning point. After years of economic recession and strict austerity measures, the country went to the polls.I travelled to Athens as a journalist to document the atmosphere surrounding the elections that brought Syriza to power and Alexis Tsipras to the role of Prime Minister.
These images capture fragments of a restless city — between slogans, polling station, everyday life and quiet uncertainty in the days when Europe held its breath.
Filed notes from ATHENE, 2015
This is a collection of field notes and published pieces from assignments where I’ve worked as a reporter and visual author. In Athens, during the 2015 elections, I spent days speaking with dockworkers at the port of Piraeus, nurses in overcrowded hospitals, activists, pensioners, and union representatives.
I wasn’t following politicians. I was documenting what austerity looked like from the ground — in voices, gestures, and waiting rooms. The result is a layered portrait of a city negotiating uncertainty, pride, and exhaustion.
My work moves between the visible and the peripheral. It relies on proximity, time, and silence — listening before framing, walking before writing.
Each note comes from a lived moment, not a deadline.
