the pandemic lockdowns. My mental health had declined when the lockdowns began, because I lost my job
(I was working as a DJ at the time) and I was forced to move back to my parents' house after 14 years.
Nature photography really helped me through this situation, and has since then become a way of
life. I love exploring nature and the amazing small world and try to make the best pictures I can out of it,
always prioritizing the well being of my subjects. My goal as a photographer is to make
people more aware of the beauty that is all around us but often goes unnoticed, and also
learn about the importance of smaller beings and their major role in preserving our ecosystem.

entry description
A close-up photo of a Bacillus arricus ssp. atticus nymph. I took this photo in September 2024, on a mountain near Athens, Greece. I wanted to include some surroundings to show how this insect mimics the branches around it, but I wanted it to stand out in my composition.about the photographer
My name is Panagiotis Dalagiorgos and I am a photographer from Greece, mostly specializing in macro photography. Most of my shots are taken in Kozani prefecture, which is where I come from. I recently moved to Athens in pursuit of a professional career as a photographer. I got my first camera on June 2020 duringthe pandemic lockdowns. My mental health had declined when the lockdowns began, because I lost my job
(I was working as a DJ at the time) and I was forced to move back to my parents' house after 14 years.
