Instructors

Iakovos Ioannidis - Creative Director

Iakovos is not just a photographer. He is the man who has visualized hundreds of stories for brands, artists and entrepreneurs who want to stand out. With over 20 years of experience, he is the co-founder of IMAGENATION — one of the most recognized creative studios in Thessaloniki. His philosophy? To transform every photoshoot or video shoot into strategic content that attracts attention and brings results.

His teaching doesn't stop at "theory." Instead, he teaches through real projects, successful examples, and an impressive career path. Those who follow him don't just learn how to operate a camera—they learn how to build a career.

Apostolis Krystallidis - Creative Director

Apostolis is living proof that a passion for video & photography can become an art and a profession at the same time. Co-founder of IMAGENATION, he has created images and videos that stand out for their depth, style and professional feel. With a cinematic aesthetic and technical excellence, he has directed and edited dozens of projects for brands and creators who want Netflix-level content. Each of his projects is artistically meticulous, technically sound and designed with a commercial conscience.

With experience from fashion editorials and product campaigns to music videos and corporate productions, he knows how to capture the feel of cinema with the tools of the content creator – and he conveys this knowledge in a way that is direct, hands-on and understandable even for beginners. He knows how to take you from the first cut to the final production, without wasting time on “theories without application”.
