Software Developer, Web Developer, Photographer (Portrait, Lifestyle)

Hello! I’m a photographer, image editor, software developer, and web designer with more than 15 years of professional experience in visual production. My photography has been published over 50,000 times and used by organizations and brands including Motorola, Fujitsu, Philips, UNESCO, Red Bull, Nike, Adidas, Marks & Spencer, Forbes, and The Verge. Over the years, my work has expanded beyond photography into software development and web design. This combination of creative and technical experience allows me to approach projects from several perspectives: visual quality, usability, performance, consistency, and the practical needs of the people who will use the final product. My background I began my career in Greece and moved to Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2018, where I founded a production company specializing in product and lifestyle photography for direct clients. Following the war in Ukraine, I relocated to Utrecht, Netherlands, where I now work independently with clients from different countries. Alongside my photography work, I design and develop software applications, including tools for photographers and image-processing workflows. I also create complete websites, working across design, content structure, user experience, and implementation. What I do Photography and image production: * Lifestyle and product photography * Commercial portraits and corporate headshots * Isolated product photography * Event and festival coverage * Image editing and color work * Visual content for marketing campaigns Software and web: * Software application development * Photography and image-processing tools * Website design and development * UI and UX design * Product design and prototyping * Technical and creative problem-solving How I work I like to understand both the immediate task and the larger purpose behind it. Whether I am creating photographs, designing an interface, building a website, or developing a software tool, my aim is to produce work that is visually considered, technically reliable, and genuinely useful. Collaboration is an important part of my process. I keep clients involved throughout the project, explain decisions clearly, and provide honest guidance when I see a better way to reach the desired result. You retain creative control, while benefiting from my experience across visual production, design, technology, and quality management. Pricing Most projects are offered as fixed-price packages after we discuss the requirements and define the scope. For hourly photography work: * First three hours: $90.36 per hour * Three to eight hours: $60.23 per hour * The lower rate also applies to ongoing, long-term projects The decimal amounts reflect conversion from euros and include Upwork’s 10% service fee. Returning-client discounts: * Returning clients: 5% * After $1,000 in total orders: 5% * After $5,000 in total orders: 10% I value clear agreements, fair pricing, and long-term professional relationships. If you have a photography, software, web, or creative project in mind, feel free to get in touch and tell me what you are trying to build.
