Portrait of Manolis Klimis

25 Years of
Light & Shadow

"I don't just take pictures; I look for the narrative woven into the fabric of your day."

My journey began in the vibrant light of Athens, Greece. It was there, amidst ancient stone and blinding sun, that I studied the dual arts of photography and cinematography. I learned early on that an image isn't just about technical perfection—it is about feeling.

For over two decades, I have refined a style that sits at the intersection of documentary filmmaking and editorial portraiture. I believe that your wedding or event isn't a photoshoot; it's a living, breathing story. My role is to step back and let that story unfold, stepping in only to guide you into the most flattering light.

“Photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world.”

Now based in the quiet beauty of Bedford Hills, New York, I bring that Mediterranean warmth and cinematic eye to celebrations across the Tri-State area and beyond. Whether it's the chaotic joy of a Hora or the silent tear during a father's speech, I am there to preserve it.

When I am not behind the camera, you can find me exploring the Hudson Valley with my wife, Ioanna, and our two beautiful twin daughters, Artemis and Matrona. Otherwise, I am likely seeking out the perfect espresso, cheering for the New York Knicks, or planning our next trip back to the Aegean Sea.
