Odysseas Chloridis is a freelance photographer and visual artist living between Reykjavik, Iceland and Thessaloniki, Greece.

His practice moves between experimental photography, printmaking, and material intervention. Working with chemically altered prints, etched surfaces, instinctive markings, and occasional fragments of text and poetry, he treats the photograph not as a fixed image but as the starting point of a transformation. Manifesting his interest on physical images and evolving it towards book making, he recently self-published his first photobook.

He studied Economics and Management at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki before pursuing photography at Stereosis School of Photography, where he gained extensive experience in analogue and digital processes, darkroom printing, and the editing, curation, and sequencing of photographic projects.

He has also worked extensively as a photojournalist, having produced images for the BBC Science Focus, NZZ, Washington Post, We Animals Media and SOOC, and is available for photographic and multimedia assignments.
