Keyra Kaklimani
My name is Rafaelia Kyriaki Kaklimani (Keyra), I am 27 years old, and I live in Thessaloniki, Greece. I have been practicing photography as an amateur for the past year and a half, although my love for it began in my childhood.

The main tool I use for my photos is my mobile phone, as I have partial vision loss, which makes using a camera quite challenging. Nevertheless, photography has become a way for me to express myself and explore the world around me.
My greatest passion is street photography, especially capturing movement and motion. Through my lens, I discovered that I am drawn to elements and moments that are not conventionally beautiful. After all, the Greek word for “ugly” (“άσχημο”) comes from the prefix “a-” (meaning “without”) and the word “σχήμα” (“shape”).
What I strive for is to give shape and form to what seems insignificant or imperfect, through my own perspective and my lens.
