Hi, I'm Helena Georgiou. My journey as a photographer has been one of deep exploration and discovery. I’ve always been captivated by the power of images to tell stories and evoke emotions. From a young age, I was drawn to the idea that a single photograph could capture a moment and convey a world of meaning.
My work spans various subjects, but what consistently drives me is a desire to delve into the human experience.

Over the years, I’ve developed a style that blends fine art sensibilities with a documentary approach. I find inspiration in everyday moments, in the quiet beauty of the mundane, and in the complexity of human emotions. Each project I undertake is a new adventure, a new chance to explore and to connect with people and places in a meaningful way.
Photography has been more than just a career for me; it’s a way of seeing and understanding the world. It’s a process of constant learning and reflection, and it allows me to share a piece of my perspective with others. I’m always excited about what lies ahead, the stories yet to be told, and the moments yet to be captured.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey. I hope my work resonates with you and offers a glimpse into the world through my eyes.
I didn't really appreciate photography as an artform. I just thought that, while the view is lovely and you get some amazing shots, the art itself was merely captured, not created unless they were organizing a shoot or something. But, these photos are striking. They invoke aspects of living. Like, the man in the boat with all the seagulls around him. To me, it paints the picture of how I feel in regards to my depression and anxiety disorders. I (the man) feel weighed down by them and it feels like everyone else (the birds) can function and move among each other and get things done without the crushing black and chaotic thoughts pulling them down. Photographs, in general, don't invoke such feelings in me. The black and white imagery, in my opinion, captures what it's like to live with depression and anxiety. Often with a lone person. Such mental illnesses can make one feel alone. It pays to remember that there are other people suffering the same things. We are never alone.
Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal reflection. I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability in expressing how these photos resonate with your experience of depression and anxiety. It’s powerful how an image can capture not just a scene, but the weight of emotions that often feel indescribable. The way you connect with the image of the man in the boat surrounded by seagulls is incredibly moving. It’s as if the photograph speaks directly to the isolation and heaviness you feel, while the world around you seems to move on effortlessly. Black and white photography, with its stark contrasts, has a unique way of distilling these feelings, and it’s clear that this medium has struck a chord with you in a profound way. I completely understand how depression can make one feel alone, even when surrounded by others. But you’re right—we are never truly alone, and sharing experiences like yours can be a powerful reminder of that. Your perspective is important, and it’s comforting
