Hello, I'm Evangelos Tzemis.
My journey has always been about exploring the intersection of creativity, technical expertise, and cultural expression. I studied Computer Science at the University of Athens, where I focused on innovative technologies like motion-based applications. Later, I completed an MSc in Mobile User Interface Technologies at the University of Copenhagen, with a thesis exploring novel touch-based interaction methods. These experiences laid the foundation for my career in software engineering. Over the years, I’ve worked as a Senior iOS and React Native developer, contributing to impactful projects for organizations such as Beat, PNOE, and the European Parliament.
At the same time, I’ve always been deeply connected to the arts. Dance was my first passion, leading me to co-found Artisstep, a group dedicated to Balkan-inspired performances. We toured internationally, performing in sold-out shows across France, and these experiences shaped my understanding of storytelling and collaboration.
Music and sound engineering became another creative outlet, and I established a professional studio where I collaborated on albums and live performances.
Traveling extensively for work and personal exploration, I developed a deep passion for photography. What began as a way to document my solo journeys grew into a craft of its own.
I draw inspiration from photographers like Joel Meyerowitz, Josef Koudelka, Steve McCurry, and Nicos Economopoulos, whose work emphasizes authenticity and storytelling. My Leica camera is my tool for documenting the places I visit and the people I meet, focusing on capturing raw, genuine moments. Now more than ever, my goal is to travel the world, uncover stories from people of all walks of life, and express those narratives through the power of photography and visual storytelling.
To make it easier for you to explore my work, my website is divided into three main sections:
- The Series: This is where I showcase focused photography projects that dive deep into a particular theme or idea. Each series is a visual narrative, capturing a unique story or perspective.
- The Gallery: A curated collection of my favorite photographs from around the world. Think of this as a space to browse my portfolio and see the moments I’ve captured during my travels.
- The Blog: Here, I share my experiences, tips, and insights about travel, photography, and life. Whether you’re looking for advice on minimalist packing, a guide to exploring Greece, or a behind-the-scenes look at my creative process, the blog is where I connect with you through words.
Thank you for visiting my website and being a part of this journey. If you’d like to connect, collaborate, or simply share a story, feel free to contact me at evangelos.tzemis@gmail.com. I’m always eager to hear from fellow travelers, storytellers, and dreamers.
