We had the good fortune of connecting with Nektaria Kleopoulos and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nektaria, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
Pursuing a career in photography as an artistic or creative endeavor can be a deeply fulfilling and rewarding path for those who are drawn to it. It offers a unique opportunity to share one’s unique perspective on the world and make a lasting impact through art.

For me, photography is a way to express a unique perspective on the world and capture moments that are meaningful. I am motivated by a desire to make a difference in the world and spark positive change through my photos.

Lastly, the creative process is a form of therapy, a way to process emotions and connect with the world. I find solace and meaning in the act of creating and sharing my work with others. This is why pursuing a career in photography as an artistic or creative endeavor can be a deeply fulfilling and rewarding path for those who are drawn to it. It offers a unique opportunity to share one’s unique perspective on the world and make a lasting impact through art.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Pursuing a career in photography as an artistic or creative endeavor can be incredibly rewarding, but it is rarely easy. It requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and persistence to succeed, as well as a willingness to take risks and push boundaries.

Many photographers face a range of challenges along the way, from learning the technical skills needed to produce high-quality work, to finding clients and building a brand, to navigating the ever-changing landscape of the photography industry. To overcome these challenges, many photographers turn to mentors and peers for guidance, seek out opportunities for professional development and networking, and stay committed to honing their craft and pushing their boundaries.

Through their journey, photographers often learn important lessons about the power of perseverance, the importance of taking risks, and the value of authenticity and personal expression in their work. They learn to adapt to change, to stay true to their vision, and to never give up on their dreams.

Ultimately, what photographers want the world to know about their brand and story is that their work is more than just a job – it is a passion and a calling. They want to share their unique perspective on the world, to capture the beauty and complexity of the human experience, and to make a lasting impact through their art. They want their work to inspire, to challenge, and to connect people across cultures and generations.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was visiting Boca Raton for a week, I would start by taking them to the beautiful beaches in the area, such as Red Reef Park, South Beach Park, or Spanish River Park. We could spend the day soaking up the sun, swimming, and enjoying water sports like kayaking or paddle-boarding.

In the evening, we could head to Mizner Park, which is a popular outdoor shopping and dining destination in the heart of downtown Boca Raton. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, and cafes to choose from, as well as shops, art galleries, and theaters.

For some cultural and historical experiences, we could visit the Boca Raton Museum of Art, which features a variety of exhibits and events showcasing contemporary and modern art, or the historic Boca Raton Resort and Club, which is a landmark hotel with a rich history and stunning architecture.

If we wanted to get some fresh air and exercise, we could take a bike ride or walk along the scenic Boca Raton Trail, which winds through the city’s lush parks and nature preserves.

Other fun activities we could do include visiting the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, exploring the Sugar Sand Park, or taking a sunset catamaran cruise along the coast.

Overall, there are plenty of things to see and do in Boca Raton, and with a little planning, I’m sure my friend and I could have an amazing week-long trip filled with great food, drinks, and adventures.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a special shoutout to my sister Anna for inspiring me to pursue photography and believing in me. I am incredibly grateful for her support and could never thank her enough.
