Photographer Takis Tloupas was born in Thessaly, grandson of a coppersmith and son of a carpenter, and lived and worked there in Larisa. He toured Greece, first by Vespa then in a Deux Chevaux, taking over 30,000 photographs of what he saw, but it was Larisa that he photographed most as time went by. 574 b&w photographs.
Photography as a technique is in essence a process of faithfully depicting the objective world. With the aid of technology, however, and especially through the sensitisation and more profound activation of visual perception, it was rapidly transformed into a creative art. This book presents a superb sample of the work of the unique photographer of Larissa, who served photography as a creative art, on the basis of his personal aesthetic and his profound belief in the importance of research. The present book is therefore much more than an album of fine photographs. It attempts to demonstrate how he viewed nature and men through his photographic lens, in order to provide us with the truths of a world that the rest of us have not learned to see.
