Alexandros Sirigos, professional photographer based in Santorini, Greece

Born into photography

I grew up in a Greek-American family where there was always a camera on the table, and I have spent more than a decade doing the one thing that fulfils me most: permanently preserving the best moments of couples who come to Santorini to celebrate their love. I am based on the island year-round — not flown in for the season — which is why I know exactly where the wind hits Skaros Rock in August, which lane in Oia is empty at 7:40am, and how long the walk to the Akrotiri lighthouse really takes in the heat.

How I work

My approach is simple: I make you forget the camera is there. No stiff poses, no "look at me and smile". I photograph the way you actually are together — the walk, the laugh, the pause at the edge of the caldera — and I time everything to the light. What you get back is authentic: real smiles, real tears, real connection.

For surprise proposals that means working unseen from a distance until the ring is on. For weddings it means documentary coverage with two short portrait windows and nothing staged. For photo tours and family sessions it means a relaxed walk at the pace of whoever is in front of the lens — including the children.

Where you will find me

Anywhere on Santorini: Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, Fira, Pyrgos, Akrotiri, Vlychada and Perivolos, on the caldera by catamaran, and by arrangement on Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Milos and Crete. Explore the six locations I shoot most on the interactive map.

Photo and film

Alongside photography I produce proposal and wedding films with the SantoriniFilms team — the same people, the same eye, so the film and the photos tell one story. Watch a recent proposal film.
