I was immediately impressed by her expertise and skill with respect to finding the right angle/frame of the shot, the composition, lighting etc. (Not to mention the incredibly technical equipment!) Even before the photos were edited, it was apparent that she had captured something great. > I recently completed a very special interior design project - and I knew Aristea was the right professional to capture the images. The resulting photos exceeded my expectations, and I will be proud to present them for years to come. **★★★★★ — Studio P Interiors, Oct. 2018** > Aristea was a pleasure to work with. She was very thorough and meticulous with every shot which I appreciate, and the photos turned out beautifully. Great photographer, will definitely hire again and would highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Sabrina I. De Araujo, May 2018** > It was a true pleasure working with Aristea. > She made the whole creative process to flow smoothly and > met us with nothing but efficiency and a helpful attitude. > Not to mention the quality of her work. Impressive really. > Aristea was a breath of fresh air and I definitely recommend her > for anyone who is looking for beautifully done pictures and impeccable professionalism. **★★★★★ — Ashton Renovations, March 2018** > This is our 4th time we have used Aristea to take photos of our projects, and we will continue to do so in the future. Initially we had a bathroom taken by them and the photos used were instrumental in helping us win a very important industry award. Well done photography is a very important element of our marketing, and Aristea does an awesome job in helping us out with this. Recent project she did for us has some photos attached here. **★★★★★ — Melva Villanueva, Feb. 2018** > I had a wonderful experience working with Aristea. She is an organised, meticulous and talented photographer who will take the extra step to get the perfect shot! I recommend Aristea for your next project, you will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Becky Freeman The Property Stylist, Jan. 2018** > Aristea's final product shows her talent and passion for her work as much as her enthusiastic professionalism during the shoot. I would highly recommend Aristea for your interior photography needs. **★★★★★ — Anonymous, Oct. 2015** > Aristea was a joy to work with! I can't thank her enough or recommend her enough anyone else needing professional photography done of their spaces. She worked with me on my very first professional photos of one of my projects, and she was always patient, respectful, and valued my opinions (and always open to answering my curious questions about her craft!). She has an excellent eye for bringing out the best qualities (meaning her photos look exactly the way you see the space in your head!) of each space regardless of the reno budget, existing conditions, or styling budget. I'm definitely going to be going back to her again to photograph my next project! **★★★★★ — Carmen Recreates, Feb. 2015** > As a stylist I've had the pleasure of working with Aristea on a number of > interior photo shoots. > Pressed for time as we often are, her hard working & committed ways allow > for nothing less then the best. > With camera in hand the end results of her technical & creative skills are met with outstanding results. > I would highly recommend Aristea. > > Carmen Maier > carmenrecreates.weebly.com **★★★★★ — Wizard Interiors Inc, Jan. 2015** > Aristea was absolutely professional and very accommodating about my schedule and budget for my various interior projects. I was impressed with her photographic skills and her attention to all details, big and small. She was punctual, communicative and a pure pleasure to work with on set. **★★★★★ — jewelweeks, Nov. 2013** > I am an interior designer working in Toronto (www.jewelweeks.ca) and I met Aristea when she shot my very first project. As someone with a keen eye for design and composition myself, I could tell right away that she possesses the same sensibility. She can sense the design and style that my work possesses, and photograph it in such a way that portrays it accurately. Working with her, I have learned just how different a medium interior photography is, and how a nice-looking room just doesn't translate into a nice-looking photograph automatically. You need someone behind the camera who cares about the design and will adjust angles, lighting, and positioning of the room's elements until it is the closest thing possible to actually seeing the space in person. She does all this and more; her attention to detail is simply astounding. > > I have hired Aristea for each project I have done since my very first and would consider no other. She is respectful of me, my work and to the homeowners, always on time (if not early), well-prepared, and spends as much time needed on the photos in post-production to get them looking just right, and is so great about incorporating any feedback I have. I highly recommend her to designers seeking interior photography. **★★★★ — GHStyleworks, Oct. 2013** > Aristea Rizakos has a keen sense of composition and an eye for the unusual and unexpected. Aristea takes her work seriously, but not herself — a ton of fun to work with and a great collaborator! ...Love working with Aristea and look forward to our next shoot together. > > Laurie Clark, Stylist ## Selected projects - [Drawbridge Drive Whole House - Markham](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drawbridge-drive-whole-house-markham-pj-vj~7232290) - Location: Markham, ON - Photos: 20 - Description: Renovated during the pandemic, this whole house renovation was renewed from top to bottom and included every area of the home. We began by removing walls on the 1st floor and closed in the opening on the 2nd floor. All the rooms were demolished and made way for new finishes that involved the 4 bathrooms, laundry, kitchen, bedrooms, living areas, and bedrooms. The bathrooms all involved heated flooring, towel warmers, and Schluter waterproofing systems. All the trades persevered during the Pandem… - [Norway Ave. Contemporary Kitchen - Toronto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/norway-ave-contemporary-kitchen-toronto-pj-vj~7098644) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 5 - Description: The kitchen in this cozy Upper Beaches home in Toronto required some reconfigurations and also updated cabinetry and appliances. We replaced the existing patio door, which expands the space into the beautifully landscaped backyard, as well as repaired and upgraded the plumbing, electrical, framing, and insulation. The end result is a much more functional kitchen that is warm and cozy and ties into some of the original architectural details of the home. - [Winner Best Medium Bath 2022 - 1st Place NKBA - Yonge St. Summerhill - Toronto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/winner-best-medium-bath-2022-1st-place-nkba-yonge-st-summerhill-toronto-pj-vj~6782705) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 21 - Description: This condo renovation, in the beautiful area of Summerhill in Toronto, involved the entire space including the kitchen, bathroom, master bedroom, and den. Our client’s focus was to completely renovate the space and make it more functional, as well as modern. As with all condo renovations we were limited in terms of layout, but we were however able to make major improvements that substantially increased the size, and function of the home. After the demolition was completed, we were able to raise… - [Best Kitchen 2019 People's Choice Award - NKBA Ontario Nominee](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/best-kitchen-2019-people-s-choice-award-nkba-ontario-nominee-pj-vj~5575965) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 8 - Description: The original kitchen in this condominium was renovated arising from the need to replace Kitec plumbing. The work triangle remained generally the same, but numerous changes were made to improve the kitchen’s functionality, aesthetics, and lighting. Automation was also introduced. The goal was to design and build a modern contemporary functional kitchen with inspiring colours accented with textured wood features. The functionality was improved with the addition of an under counter microwave, which… - [Winner Best Small Bathroom 2016 - NKBA Ontario](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/winner-best-small-bathroom-2016-nkba-ontario-pj-vj~2098682) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 6 - Description: The goal for this project was to create a contemporary guest bathroom with elements of English Country design reflective of the rest of the home’s décor. The existing bathroom, situated in a condo, faced fixed-location limitations for both the shower and toilet drains; the original shower drain was near the back wall, typical for a bathtub, and the toilet flange did not meet the 15” recommended on centre spacing. There were also height restrictions associated with piping in the ceiling. The bath… - [Downtown Toronto Condo Ensuite Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-toronto-condo-ensuite-bathroom-pj-vj~5710295) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 3 - [Downtown Toronto Modern Condo Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-toronto-modern-condo-kitchen-pj-vj~5710287) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 6 - [Downtown Toronto Condo Main Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-toronto-condo-main-bathroom-pj-vj~5710280) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 4 - [Bloor West Village Bathroom - Toronto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bloor-west-village-bathroom-toronto-pj-vj~4146429) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 8 - Description: Our clients were inspired by the idea of a master bedroom with beautiful, functional closet space, and a larger shower – more so than there loathed 36″ x 36″ corner acrylic unit. After a number of visits, a plan was devised to build 3 closet areas, and a large shower with a floating quartz bench. The bedroom would see a dividing wall, but not to the ceiling so light could come through. The biggest of the three closets would be closest to the window, with a room entirely devoted to that space.

It was cozy, close to work, and had a really wonderful backyard. What they really wanted now was an open concept kitchen with a view to their garden. We sat down with them and designed a very functional, contemporary space, with lots of light. Their new kitchen would have a peninsula (along with seating) and just enough room to put a table by their window and under newly installed skylights. There were some challe… - [Circa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/circa-pj-vj~2918043) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 11 - [Bisha Condos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bisha-condos-pj-vj~2917991) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 5 - Description: Open space condo styled by Becky Freeman, The Property Stylist for Bisha Residential downtown Toronto. - [Ensuite Spa Bathroom - Toronto Beaches](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ensuite-spa-bathroom-toronto-beaches-pj-vj~2141323) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 6 - Description: The original bathroom in this Toronto home consisted of both a small shower and a large corner bath. And although the number of windows with southern and western exposure added considerable light to the space, it contributed to limitations with placement of the double vanity. Dave and Jenni decided to add a larger double vanity with an adjacent infrared built in sauna, along with a stand up shower. The style of the bathroom was to be kept clean and simple and tile on the majority of wall surface… - [MId Town Residential Home 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-town-residential-home-1-pj-vj~2514139) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 11 - [Toronto Developments 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/toronto-developments-1-pj-vj~2513280) - Location: Mississauga, ON - Photos: 19 - Description: Open concept designed town home - [Downtown Toronto Condo 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-toronto-condo-1-pj-vj~2513801) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 8 - [Princess Margaret Grand Prize 2014](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/princess-margaret-grand-prize-2014-pj-vj~906456) - Location: King City, ON - Photos: 12 - Description: Architectural Design: Region Design Team, Construction: Greenpark Homes, Architect / Builder / Designer: Jack Celi Photographer: Aristea Rizakos Stylist: Carmen Maier [See all 22 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/photographers/aristea-rizakos-photography-pfvwus-pf~1476463251) ## Ideabooks - [Artwork](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118068401/list/artwork) — 4 ideas - [kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69912285/list/kitchens) — 20 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/aristearizakos) ## Community Q&A **Q: Would you share your source for the gold fireplace tile?
