Photographer's Resume

Demetri got his first camera at age twelve and he hasn't stopped taking photographs ever since. From an early age he realized that there is more to photography than snapshots of family and friends. He was attracted primarily to nature and travel subjects, attempting to transcend simple recordings of events or places, and instead capture their spirit.

Demetri received his undergraduate degree from the Aristotelian University in Greece. He proceeded to study at the University of Georgia where he received his MS in Statistical Computer Modeling and his Ph.D. in Digital Image Processing and Computer Graphics. As faculty at the University of Georgia, he pioneered research on merging digital data from various sensors and viewing 3-D images on computer displays. He also developed advanced algorithms for enhancing and displaying digital images.

During the past 21 years, Demetri founded two software companies, designed and brought to market 25 software products, and worked for several corporations in software management roles including Leica and Hewlett Packard. Currently, he heads a software consulting business.

Demetri's latest photographic work pushes the envelop of classical photography. Using scanners, he captures the finest details of flowers in ways that are not possible with traditional cameras. The unique lighting techniques combined with high resolutions in the range of fifty to one hundred mega-pixels enhance the translucency of his subjects and at great magnifications they reveal anthropomorphic or animalistic features. He photographs flowers while they are wilting, capturing moments in reality that are usually overlooked. Observers are invited to discover another world full of delight and expressiveness.

His photographs, although totally in the digital domain, are not manipulated with image processing software. They are true representations of the actual subjects. Because of the high resolution used in the capturing process, prints 3 feet or larger can be made of tiny specimens without any visible degradation of the image quality, resulting in larger than life depictions.
