Maria Petalidou (aka Stoned Rozetta) is a Street and Urban Photographer based in Athens, Greece. Her work explores the visual rhythm of everyday life — blending sharp composition, vibrant color, motion, shadows, layers and depth to reveal moments of strange beauty, stillness, and contrast.
Starting to rediscover her creative footing at the age of 27, she began her photographic journey by documenting travel — cultures, structures, landscapes — before unlocking the spontaneous energy of Street Photography in October 2024 when she joined Andreas Kamoutsis’ Spontaneous Shooters. This marked a turning point in her practice:
From observer to storyteller, from traveler to city dweller with a camera in hand!
