An Exclusive Interview With Níkos Aliágas
Lens Magazine|May 2020
"With photography, I've learned to be patient. Sometimes, I can have an hour of free time to analyze where I'm at and to understand the situation, maybe even take a few pictures when I feel that the time is right." - Níkos Aliágas

An Exclusive Interview With Níkos Aliágas

José Jeuland: Hello, Nikos! First, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to talk to us on your birthday. Here's what I know about you (apart from your birthday); You were born in Paris, and you are a French with Greek origins. You are a renowned figure on French TV and in France and Greece altogether.

Since you started your career as a journalist in 1993, you've gone beyond the traditional boundaries of the profession on being a journalist and producer on the radio, writer, host, and singer. Have I missed anything?

Nikos Aliagas: Nope, you've got them right! Singing was just an experience between others; I only perform in Greece, and I simply do it for the joy. On my own time, I write books and am passionate about philosophy. In fact, I'm a huge collector of old books. I would consider myself to be a curious man. I have had many interests along the way. I don't believe in just having one job at any one time, and I enjoy exploring various activities. I've also always been into photography.
