  • Vassilis Makris was born in Patras, Greece in 1958. He is a professional photographer, highly specialised in applied photography, particularly architectural photography and interior photography. His - amateur - involvement with photography began very early, in 1974. He started working as a professional photographer in Greece, in 1985 when he also published his first works. In 1987 he photographed museums and historical buildings, in New York. He specialised in architectural photography and in 1989 he started taking photographs of houses and interiors in Los Angeles. The same year he began his long co-operation with magazines specialising in architecture and interior design, published in Greece and internationally. He, also, takes photographs on behalf of advertising, hotel, shipping, air transport, construction and publishing companies and his pictures appear in prestigious American and European publications. In 2002 the album "Houses in Greece - Under the sun" ISBN: 960-7563-91-3 (Σπίτια στην Ελλάδα - Κάτω απ’ τον ήλιο) with photographs of the interiors of Greek houses, was published. In 2003 the album "The Face of Athens" ISBN: 960-7563-99-9 (Το πρόσωπο της Αθήνας) with photographs from the architectural tour of the journalist, Nikos Vatopoulos, became a "best seller" and was published in English and republished. Still working as a professional today, Vassilis Makris is currently teaching applied photography, for architecture and industrial photography, in the LEICA Academy of Creative Photography in Athens and is working on two photographic projects - one in New York and another in Alexandria, Egypt - both inspired by his obsession with "urban landscape" photography.
