About Popi Tsoukatou

I was born and still living in Athens.My belief is that the camera can see more than the eye.Through personal journeys in incompatible and conflicting professional areas, through suffering and experience, through friendships and betrayals, I discovered another way of personal expression and communication.The photographic lense. Not to catch the moment but rather to express feelings and innuendos. To depict the joy of life, the passion, the perpetual motion, the inner search,the dispute, the transition. Through the opacity of the image I make room for the imagination to run wild while I try to protect people from risks of overexposure. Each photo for me, is a unique life story. www.popitsoukatou.com
