Babis Tsoukias
Babis Tsoukias is a Greek awarded Professional Wedding & Portrait
photographer, born and raised in Athens, Greece. Coming from a
family of photographers, he attended a private school of photography
in Athens and completed his academic studies in Switzerland where
he specialized in large format camera. He realized within his 30 years
of career that in photography the greatest school is the experience
obtained by life itself.
While commercial and still life photography has always been a big
part of his job, it was people that eventually won him over; itβs what he
chose and was chosen by. People who make him a part of their most
personal and exclusive moments in their lives, who bring forth
emotions -whether that is joy or sorrow in their unique experiences,
people who laugh, cry, worry, rejoice.
It is these precious moments that he loves to immortalize always with
a great sense of pride, responsibility but most of all, honor, when he is
chosen as personal photographer for such special occasions.
Managing to exceed himself every day, there is no higher
accomplishment and accolade than earning the respect of his fellow
professional photographers and the love of his customers.
In midst of the recession in Greece, he runs his new studio and
supports his lovely wife Natassa to create her vision Birthstories.gr .
They became leader in a new industry in Greece for maternity,
newborn and family photography.
As a master of WPPI and Craftsman of PWS, he has spoken in
several conventions, seminars and workshops in Greece and abroad.
The emotion of βspecial dayβ and the βmeaning of printingβ are the
main themes in most of his workshops and seminars.
Every year he loves to attend the competition of WPPI, PWS and
SWPP. Some of his achievements follow below:

Papers of Choice
The fine art papers Gold Fibre Gloss, the new Gold Fibre Pearl and the Textured Cotton Rag of Ilford have a rich tone variety that help me depict my pictures in the best way.
Whether taking part in exhibitions or printing for my customers who trust the quality of my work, I always try to give them the best result.
Those papers give to my images the impact I want for them to have, when I shot them, especially in large prints, the color gamut of those papers is truly amazing.
