Raphaelia Kyriaki Kaklimani (Keyra)

My name is Raphaelia Kyriaki Kaklimani (Keyra), I am 26 years old and I live in Thessaloniki. I have been practicing photography as an amateur for the past year and a half, although my love for it goes back to my childhood.

The main tool I use for my photos is my mobile phone, as I have partial vision loss and using a camera is quite difficult for me. Nevertheless, photography has become a way for me to express myself and explore the world around me. 

My great passion is street photography, especially capturing images in motion. Through my lens, I discovered that I am drawn to elements and moments that are not conventionally beautiful. After all, the Greek word for “ugly” comes from the prefix “a-” (meaning “without”) and the word “shape.”

What I seek is to give shape and form to what may seem insignificant or incomplete—through my own gaze and my lens.
