thodoris markou was born in 1980 and led a very simple (read: boring) life until 2005, when he discovered photography and he was born again, a true atheist and lover of everything photographic.
since then he has never looked back (although he does turn back every now and then). he does a lot of concert photography, but his main interest lies in portraits and any kind of conceptual photography that includes human presence.
he also speaks about himself in the third person, and avoids the use of capital letters, did you notice? doctors say it's not a serious condition, he just thinks that it's easier to write a biography that way.
he started off as digital, but soon found the analog way. he currently shoots mostly medium format b/w film, and dreams that one day, ανθρώπου θέλοντος και χωροχρόνου επιτρέποντος, he will have his own darkroom and will meddle in chemicals, alternative processes, and other olde worlde experimental stuff.
he participated in a number of exhibitions during the past years:
Switch on Photography, may/june 2007, group exhibition, Switch
Vertigo #428, november 2007, group exhibition, Horostasion
Demoiselles, march 2008, solo exhibition, AsproArt
15upto30, november/december 2008, group exhibition, Vraziliana
PERFORMinLIFE by dogmART, jan 2009, group exhibition, Art House
Travellers, april 2009, group exhibition, Vraziliana
he currently resides in athens, greece.
