Tasos Biris

At the age of 16 I begun capturing photo snaps with my grandpa’s  6X7 old camera. After finishing computer programming studies in Control Data (1981) and completed my studies as a Civil Engineer (1988) I attended the photography school Focus (1988-1990) where I was privileged to study photography under the supervision of Takis Zerdevas, Plato Rivellis, Nikos Markou and Roula Akalestou and other great photographers and artists, and at the same time I took placement exams for the school of photography, TEI Athens and succeeded (1988). During Christmas of the same year I took part in a photography contest “Greece of 2000” of the “Φωτογράφος» magazine and won the first prize. Thereafter, I became a professional photographer for a few years which stopped after I decided to pursue a job opportunity related to civil engineering.  After that, I continue being involved with photography as a way of expressing myself. Ever since I came to live in N. Evia in 2000, I have become a wonderer and a moment capturer, of an inner photographic exploration of the land and its people.  I capture light and its relation to shapes and forms. I search for the infinitely small moment where we can taste beauty and incorporate it once and for all in our private eternity. I search for words that will help me manifest the poetic logos of photography. Photography for me becomes an eternal pursue of the Human Being, a journey to the centers of my soul, a path to transcendence of this virtual world toward the world of poetry, so that one day I could speak of the unspoken. Light capturing is one of the reasons I exist. Since 2017 I am a member of “Photography Circle", and an article writer in the electronic magazine iFocus. I was born in Christmas of 1963 and since then Photo graphy ZΩ. ​
