About

Photo: Kareen Freyer

I grew up with dogs and have had one by my side for most of my life. Through them, I have experienced so much love and trust that I want to give some of it back. But my heart beats for all animals, which is why I use my skills to fight for their rights.

In 2011, I discovered photography and videography, and I have been continuously working to improve my skills to tell their stories. Since then, I have collaborated with various organizations, providing them with my material and supporting their efforts. In 2019, I published my first photobook, Cyprus Paradise, about the situation of street and shelter dogs in Cyprus. My project We See You was featured in a group exhibition at the Stadtgalerie in Kiel, Germany, and was screened at various festivals.

I am a contributing photographer for We Animals Media, a nonprofit organization advocating for animals through photojournalism.
