Commissioned directly by Contiki, this week-long travel photography project took in four of Greece’s most iconic and contrasting destinations — Meteora, Athens, Naxos, and Mykonos — travelling alongside a team of six models to create a lifestyle content library for one of the world’s leading youth travel brands.
The creative approach deliberately prioritised the social experience of travel over the destinations themselves — capturing the energy, spontaneity, and genuine connection between a group of young travellers as they moved through Greece, rather than producing conventional destination or landmark photography.
Moving across four destinations in a single week — from the dramatic cliff monasteries of Meteora to the marble streets of Athens, the beaches of Naxos, and the iconic whitewashed terraces of Mykonos — required both logistical precision and the ability to shoot quickly and instinctively.

“David from start to finish was a pleasure to work with and brought his own creative perspective to everything produced. From pre-production help and organising kit to building on our own creative briefs. The end result and images produced went beyond expectations and are now a proud part of our content collection. Not only from a professional standpoint but off camera, Dave was great fun to be around and became an invaluable part of our crew. I hope our paths cross again… Legend.”Ben Garwood, Content Marketing — Contiki
