DISTINCTIONS
I love
having hugs and spending time with my 3 amazing kids,
Greek islands hopping and travelling abroad,
exploring new cultures; going to film, art and music festivals; abstract expressionism in art, experimental music, sci-fi movies;
summer, the warm sun on my face, reading books on the beach,
the weightlessness and the silence in the sea while diving,
the sound of the wind,
the odor of jasmine,
minimalism and Cycladic architecture;
my cats,
my collection of kimonos,
sushi,
peanut butter,
poached egg on avocado toast
yoga, meditation;
teaching art to kids;
I love life, big smiles and positive thinkers;
I feel grateful for capturing high vibes!

Horst A. Friedrichs did shoot the lifestyle visuals for digital use, to promote the SS18 collection. I was in charge of organizing the shooting and of the backstage documentary scenes, on the island of Rhodes, in Greece. Being part of a team of professionals is always an honour and a great experience.
THE OUTNET’s fashion team traveled to Athens for the site’s first-ever location photoshoot. The team styled model Ksenia in pieces chosen from some of the 250+ designers stocked on-site, ranging from Charlotte Olympia and Roksanda Illinic to Roberto Cavalli and Hervé Léger. Once more I was among experts.
Every madame shoushou collection is inspired by life itself and every day’s magic. Elina Kordali, the owner and designer of madame shoushou studied fashion design at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan. It is a great honour being the photographer of madame shoushou ss19.
AS SEEN ON
Magdalene is pure magic, she captures the most important candid moments and you don’t even realize she’s in the room. She specializes in journalistic photography so if you don’t like posing for pictures or you are camera shy she is your girl. She documented amazing moments, each picture conveys emotion, every time I look at a picture I relive my wedding. Her pictures are beautiful, she is professional and honest. most of all she helps you feel relaxed on your big day, she truly is a breath of fresh air.
Magdalene has a unique gift and she was able to capture our special day perfectly. On our wedding day, she really put us at ease – her style is contemporary and edgy and she is such a beautiful, positive, artistic person it’s no surprise her photography is the same. Thank you for taking our wedding photographs and giving us the most beautiful pictures that completely tell the story of our day… nothing staged, nothing posed, just breathtaking beautiful pictures that capture us completely. I can’t wait to come back for an anniversary and have some more done.
Magdalene has an eye for composition in her photography; her photos capture more than the moment, they become a piece of art. She was everything that we could have ever wanted in a photographer for our destination wedding on Hydra- she was poised, discreet, helpful, and she is also a wonderful person. She captured every little moment: the best looks, the best dancing, the best smiles, and all in a unique way. I wish I could better express how happy we are with her but words can't do her justice- she was simply spectacular!
