The artist took photographs of indoor buildings stores in the Greek cities of Agrinio, Volos, Kavala, Drama and Xanthi that in the past housed tobacco factories, tobacconists as they say in Northern Greece. With his lens he roams inside the vast rooms, which once pulsated with life, revealing how important the cultivation and trade of tobacco was in Greece.

Tobacco stores’s catalogue is published by Kastaniotis publishing house.
