Helen Sotiriadis is a photographer, architect, teacher and writer based in Athens, Greece.
She specializes in landscape, portrait, architectural and fine art photography and has a teaching career that spans over two decades, having delivered hundreds of seminars on computer-aided design and photo editing. Her photos and articles have been published internationally.
She has immersed herself in several cultures, and is in a unique position to see both North America and Greece, where she has lived extensively, as both a native and a visitor.
Helen started shooting regularly late in her career, and her enthusiasm is still fresh -- so in addition to her evocative images of daily sights and beautiful locations, she is known for her contagious excitement over new subjects and techniques, and her patient skill in conveying what she's learned to others. She finds great satisfaction in helping others learn to use their new cameras, edit their photos, capture memories, or fulfill their curiosity, hunger for discovery and personal creativity.

kate mellersh (come to a halt) says:
"Undoubtedly the absolute queen of bokeh. It would be far too easy just to treat Helen's stream as a pure sensual pleasure, and lie back, allowing yourself to be swallowed by the softness, colour, glow, sheer deliciousness. Oops, I think I did ... But that would be selling the huge subtlety and thoughtfulness of this lovely work badly short. I love how you fill a frame - the solicitous details you pick to highlight, the swirling darkness, and light, you bathe them in. You make the mundane absolutely extraordinary - a true talent to aspire to.

"Ask me three of the most creative photographers here in flickr and Helen will surely be one of them!
Her works are simply spell binding! Prepare your "Ohhs" and "Ahhs" because you will be amazed and bewildered by her extra-ordinary works!
Am proud to say that she's an inspiration and ... yes, I have bookmarked three flickr sites and one of them is hers!"20th October, 2009

Clairance says:
"There are just so many of Helen's pictures that make me think 'I so wish I'd taken that'. At the risk of sounding repetitive Helen is definitely someone who inspires you to want to take great pictures - unfortunately that's not always achievable, unless you are naturally talented like Helen ;-)"

Rebecca Tabor Armstrong says:
"Helen is a woman of profound strength, and that strength resonates through her artistry to impact the viewer. Using deep, rich colors and an eye for details and scenic settings, she pursues and captures beauty with each frame. Her compassion as an artist and a friend only strengthens her gift behind the lens."

Kounellis says:
" I've been wanting to write this to you for a while now. You are an inspirational photographer Eleni. Your photostream has such a diverse range of images, always experimenting with different effects and programmes. You're truly a great artistic photographer with some interesting and beautiful images.
Any one who hasn't seen Eleni's photostream should take the time to look through it and enjoy. You will also learn some things about the different effects you could create.
You have helped me with my experiments too and you're always there with your sincere comments and or critiques. You are a true flickr friend and I sincerely thank you.
