Antonis Karakostantakis | Specialized Photographer in Food, Products & Jewelry

My journey in photography began at a young age when the camera became my tool for expressing creativity. While I initially explored wedding and christening photography, I soon discovered my true passion lies in capturing objects that “tell stories” – food, products, and jewelry.

My professional path started with studies in Electronics in Athens, where I also cultivated my love for photography. After completing my studies, I worked as an electronics technician for a leading service company in Crete. Later, I dedicated 10 years to our family construction business, gaining valuable experience in building projects. Following that, I established my own technical office, which I ran for another 11 years, focusing on construction and renovation projects. During this period, architectural photography became a bridge between my technical expertise and artistic expression, further enriching my creative identity.

I have pursued formal education in photography and continue to attend specialized seminars to constantly enhance my skills. My specialization in food, product, and jewelry photography is the result of passion and dedication. Based in the heart of Heraklion, I operate a modern studio exclusively designed for these areas, collaborating with hotels, restaurants, and businesses that seek to showcase their identity through compelling visuals.

In addition, I have a deep love for travel and exploration. Wherever I find myself, whether in cities or nature, I capture landscapes and street scenes, creating images that reflect the uniqueness of each place. This passion has inspired a non-profit project through which I document Crete in a completely original and alternative way.

For me, photography is more than a profession – it’s a way of life, creativity, and discovery.
