Hello. I am Spyros Paloukis and I am an artist. I have studied contemporary photography at the Stereosis School of Photography (SSP) in Thessaloniki and I have obtained an MA in American Studies from the University of Antwerp in Belgium. My approach is human-centered, and my focus is on producing series of portraits, filtered through my deep love for photography, a token of my artistic maturity and overall ability to communicate with people and create images and stories.
Two photographic worlds coexist within me; one of applied photography, which includes weddings, corporate events and advertising assignments; and one of artistic practice, which focuses on long-term photography projects. So far, I have published five books; the photo albums: ‘Wonderwood’, ‘Daydreaming’, and ‘Edessa’; the novels: ‘Charlemagne’, and ‘Black Out’ and I am the co-founder of the Magic Box & Fata Morgana Publications. For any assignments or information of how to purchase my photographs please contact me directly. I am available to travel anywhere in Greece and in most European cities but mainly my time is divided among Mykonos, Athens, and Thessaloniki, so please feel free to drop me a line with the details of your request. contact: spyridonpaloukis@gmail.com +30 697 2214 362 a greek resume can be viewed here |
