A visual career archive

One body of work.
Many ways of seeing.

Selected Works is a curated cross-section of the twenty-five-year career of Athens-based photographer Stavros Marmaras. It brings together individual photographs by visual language and subject, distinct from project-based case studies.

Architecture and designed space remain at the centre, while hospitality, interiors, aerial, maritime and travel work reveal the wider practice across Greece and beyond.

Eight Chapters / One Vision

A life, gathered in light.

Twenty-five years of places, encounters and passing light, brought together not simply as photographs, but as traces of experience, memory and a way of seeing shaped over time.

01 / Architecture & Space

Contemporary villa with illuminated curved walls and an olive tree at night

Architecture & Space

A study of proportion, geometry, material and the movement of light through designed space. This collection brings together architectural exteriors and spatial compositions from across the archive.

02 / Residences & Villas

Modern villa and reflecting pool photographed at blue hour

Residences & Villas

Residential architecture photographed through scale, setting, atmosphere and the relationship between interior life and landscape. Villas and homes are presented as lived environments rather than isolated objects.

03 / Hotels & Hospitality

Hotels & Hospitality

Hospitality photography shaped around arrival, atmosphere, design and experience. The images connect architecture, interiors, food and landscape into a coherent visual sense of place.

04 / Interiors

Living and dining room with blue chairs and a suspended fireplace at Mirum Villas, Crete

Interiors

Interior photography attentive to spatial flow, material character and available light. Each frame balances clarity with atmosphere so the design can be understood and felt.

05 / Details & Material

Amber glass vase with dried grasses and seashells on a dark round coffee table

Details & Material

A closer reading of crafted surfaces, objects and transitions. These photographs reveal how material, texture and small design decisions give character to a larger space.

06 / Aerial Perspectives

Top-down aerial view of a villa, landscaped gardens and swimming pool

Aerial Perspectives

Elevated viewpoints reveal planning, terrain and the geometry that connects architecture to its surroundings. The aerial collection brings scale and context to land, buildings and coastline.

07 / Maritime

Maritime

Yachts, vessels and the visual language of movement on water. This collection combines maritime detail, form and environment for editorial and commercial assignments.

08 / Travel & Destinations
