We are wildlife photographers. Apart from our friendship, we share a common passion for nature and photography. We photograph wild nature and the creatures that live in it, and always seek powerful images depicting their beauty. We have roamed Greek nature for many years, so we have now a unique experience on the wildlife and wild places of this country. We got started by pure enthusiasm for what we do and fortunately, the enthusiasm gets higher as the years go by. We want to share the hard work that we’ve done so far, and to help people see the natural beauty that surrounds us. In our opinion this is the only way for people to change attitudes towards nature and the only hope to preserve our most priceless gift: the natural world in which we live.
After fifteen years of photographing independently in Greek nature, we decided to join our work, making a very large archive of photos. This is the first photo-library specializing in Greek nature. We have thousand of images covering lots of subjects and we continually add more. Rare birds, endemic reptiles and flowers, in our lists you can find subjects that will surprise you. Our lists will be updated regularly and our subjects will be adding up. And if you need something that we don’t have, it is possible that we can find and photograph it for you. Our photos are of the finest quality. The latest photographic and electronic equipment that we use and our obsession with perfection result in great nature photos.
Brief CVs
Andrea Bonetti was born in Lugano (Switzerland) in 1968. He graduated in Biological Sciences at Pavia (Italy) in 1995 and immediately after his studies he moved to Greece to do research on the avifauna and herpetofauna of the Gialova Lagoon of Pylos, Peloponnese. Soon afterwards he became site coordinator of a LIFE project led by the Hellenic Ornithological Society aiming at the conservation and management of the Gialova Lagoon. Andrea started wildlife photography in 1993 and during his research on birdlife was able to deeply describe the life of the wetland through photographs. From these times the book 'A Day at the Lagoon' was born in 1999.
His photographs have been published on various international magazines, among
them the BBC Wildlife Magazine in the UK, Oasis in Italy and the Greek
publication of the National Geographic. In 1999 he won a first prize in the
BG Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition in the category “From Dusk
to Dawn”.
Currently he is working on a nature guide of the mainland of Greece to be
published by the Greek National Geographic and a book about the nature of the
beautiful archaeological site of Mistras, in Peloponnese.

In 1999 ‘Enghromon’ Editions published the book 'Strophylia' (in collaboration with Lambros Logothetis) which is a glorious presentation of this Ramsar area near Patras.
