Andreas Markou is an outdoor sports and nature photographer who specializes in rock climbing and rope-access photography and filming.

His work sits between narrative storytelling and the technical precision of his commercial photography background, in still life, architecture and portraits, which he continues to practice today. It includes photography and video production for brands, publishers and municipalities.

His photographs have won awards and have been published in climbing magazines (Klettern, Climbing, Rock and Ice) and in climbing guidebooks, including Bouldering Athens, Climb Greece, Map Tapo and the Athens Climbing Guidebook (2014), of which he is also a co-author.

Notable projects:
Filming and photographing the rope-access training of Cosmote’s team
Promotional video production for the Municipality of Kyparissi & Leonidio (promoting them as climbing destinations)
Photographing climbing festivals and climbing competitions across Greece
Collaborations as a specialist photographer/videographer for production companies (Need a Fixer)
