A box — forgotten for 30 years — that I discovered in the basement of photographer Takis Tloupas’ studio in Larissa, Greece, was a real treasure for me. Rare film footage that was shot from the 1950s to the 1980s by Tloupas — with a Super 8 camera — made me search for that man and his work.
Having left a rich photo archive behind after his death, the fruit of his travels around Greece and his homeland, Thessaly, Tloupas is rightly considered one of the greatest photographers of Greece.
Today, his daughter Vania works as a photographer too, in the same studio. Through her narration, we get to know her father’s life and record his artistic course, while composing a human geography of Thessaly, as it emerges through his work.
