Hotel Collaboration

Agean Minimialism:

A curated collection of luxury hotel photography from Folegandros, Paros, Milos and Crete, Aegean Minimalism captures the quiet elegance of Greece’s most refined boutique hotels. Featuring sun-washed architecture, whitewashed interiors and natural stone textures, each image showcases timeless Aegean design, coastal light and minimalist Mediterranean style

Project Overview

Soft, sun-washed and quietly architectural, Aegean Minimalism explores the restrained beauty of Greece’s most considered hotels. From the cliffside stillness of Folegandros to the textured stone forms of Milos, the coastal calm of Paros and the earthy elegance of Crete, the series captures a slower, more intentional expression of Mediterranean luxury.

Each composition is a study in light, negative space and elemental materials, where whitewashed surfaces, natural stone and Aegean blues create a timeless dialogue between architecture and landscape. The collection celebrates simplicity as sophistication, revealing how thoughtful design and atmosphere shape the modern boutique hotel experience.
