My Father's Studio

The box – forgotten for thirty years – that I discovered in the basement of photographer Takis Tloupas’ studio, in Larissa, Greece, was a real treasure for me. A rare film footage ranging from the 1950s to the 1980s, shot by Tloupas himself with his super8 camera, made me search for that man and his work. Having left, after his death, a rich photo archive, the fruit of his travels around Greece and his homeland, Thessaly, Takis Tloupas is justly 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.
