Vasakoshots is more than just a photoshoot... It was my ever lingering dream... And it’s never too late to follow our dreams..
My passion is to inspire people express themselves, create art out of the ordinary and leave the comfort zone. Above all, I aim to establish strong relationships with my clients, the cornerstone of a successful collaboration. My most-loved features are either any unconventional characteristics of the people around us or a natural contrast a scenery can offer. Always trying to depict the vibes I get from people or the general environment in which I am asked to create and, I achieve to deliver eye-pleasing and emotion-filled photographic pieces of art.
Being a beauty chaser, simplicity devotee and vintage-editing lover my ambition is to trigger emotions and emanate deeper thoughts through my creations. I am here not only for your special moments... I am here dedicated to you, who wants to break the chain of traditional soulless portraits, to you who aims to showcase your story, to leave a mark in humanity, to raise awareness for the new generations.

Most of my childhood memories are from my village, in Northwest Greece. An almost mythical place, where nature never seizes to amaze you!
This scenery was my springboard and my chalenge was to harmonically blend it with the human element. Coming from a diverse working background in hospitality and fashion industry, I have embeded all my knowledge and attributes to the experience I offer. I owe my talent in communication and my organisational spirit to my early studies in Hotel & Tourism management. It might seem far from my profession (I know!), but it definetely formed my ability to think outside the box.
Having worked on the opposite side of the camera, as a model, stylist or concept creator, helps me provide my clients with an imaginative and soothing, almost healing, experience. This brings us to the most fascinating part of photography for me... the opportunity to communicate the feelings that derive from the whole process to anyone that comes across my work, not only to those involved.

My husband and I had a memorable experience with Vasileios during our honeymoon! Through his photography, he truly captured our honeymoon memories in the heart of Edinburgh. He went the extra mile to find the best hidden spots to capture background scenery and made sure we were comfortable with the whole experience. He was also a great asset in recommending poses. Vasileios's communication and planning skills are exceptional. I highly recommend him as the quality of the experience is worth the value!
Regina November 2022 FANTASTIC!!!!!! The rain didn't stop us! Vasileios was so professional and prepared that he even carried a wonderful umbrella with him, which was helpful and also used as a very stylish prop during the photoshoot! He was full of ideas during the experience and I was able to have great photos thanks to Vasileios' posing tips and the beautiful locations he guided me to!!!! He is such a friendly and heartwarming person and I was lucky to have met him and photoshoot by him! I believe everyone visiting Edinburgh should book a photoshoot experience with him!!!
Vasileios was great. He added so much warmth to the shoot with his friendly nature. I am a very shy person by nature, but he helped get me comfortable during my couple shoot. He suggested loads of things including style, and postures, due to which our photoshoot results were excellent. He even asked us the characters we like and the places we would want to go for a photoshoot. This added so much personal touch to all our pictures. Thanks! We would love to book again.
Danielle September 2022 Highly recommend Vasileios for photos in Edinburgh! Absolutely fantastic experience from booking through to receiving final photos. My husband and I don't typically have photos taken of us, but this was a trip we wanted to celebrate. I chose Vasileios over other available photographers listed here due to his posted portfolio, price, and page description (we wanted to do it right if we were finally getting photos of us!). So glad we picked this experience. Vasileios communicated start time and location well, was extremely friendly and easy to work with, and even offered some history and great recommendations on places to eat/visit! We ended up with excellent photos to remember this trip and this time in our lives.
My husband was a little hesitant about the idea of a photo session, but several times throughout our photos, he said, “This is great - I’m so glad we’re doing this!” We’re celebrating our 25th anniversary, and what better souvenir to have than professional photos in Edinburgh! Vasileios was warm & friendly, professional and honestly, I really love his work (look him up on Insta @vasakos_3vh). It was a fun evening & you’ll enjoy having Vasileios take you to many beautiful spots in Old Town! Highly recommend!
He was fantastic! Super communicative! He accommodated our early time (we had a busy sight seeing schedule). He made sure we had several photos we were happy with before leaving each location. He was very easy to talk to and tell him what my insecurities were and he accommodated them (we all have them) . We had a very sunny day and he worked with it even though he wasn’t used to the early morning sun at the sites we shot at. Absolutely recommend!
