Βιογραφικό

Michalis Patsouras

I am a professional photographer based in Athens, Greece.
I studied photography at the Focus schools (photography & video art) 1990-93 and at the Greek Leica Academy 1997-2000.
I worked as a civil servant (1990-2000). In 2000 I quit my job to work as a professional photographer.
I did freelance work for publishing groups and advertising agencies.
Since 2013, I have been working on long-term, people-centered topics with a focus on contemporary social issues.
I like to photograph experientially.
I worked as a photography tutor at Leica Akademie Greece (1997-2021).
I am a member of the Greek Press Photo Union and a member of the Supervisory Board of Foebus (Intellectual Property Rights of Photographers).
My photographs are included in the permanent collection of the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography (MoMus).
In 2022 I received the 1st Award in the APW (Athens Photo World) contest.
