Photographer
Perfectionist, stubborn, introverted; my worst? To speak in public and to promote myself!
My name is Niki Spartali and photography has been an important part of me since I was 15 years old. For me photography means creation, a way of expression, a way to get everything I have in my mind and cannot say in words. Of course, things were not so “simple” from the beginning. Going back 20+ years I remember that I struggled to express myself, but I did not know how… thought and result did not go hand in hand. Although my studies in photography were an important resource, I had a hard time until I was able to do it spontaneously.
Now classic photography alone is not enough for me. I am systematically informed about the new trends, I experiment with mixed techniques, forms and materials, I try video. I like to look for ideas that will give me the opportunity to work with myself, my feelings, but also the relationship with those around me. For me it is my path and I do not know where it will end.
A big part of my job is teaching, not because I think I know photography better than anyone but because I believe in people who want to express themselves creatively. I love when I see my students bring out their best in photography. I also love the way they push me to evolve over and over again and not to stand still.
By undertaking a professional photography project, I try to work harmoniously with the client, to understand his wants and his vision. The needs of my clients become my personal business and with special attention to every detail, I always strive for the perfect result.
