About Artist
Apostolos Kaloudis
My name is Apostolos Kaloudis, and I'm an adventurer. I consider myself as an adventurer/explorer, rather than a photographer. When I was studying Medieval History, I was amazed by stories and details of military campaigns.

In 2015, I joined the National Geographic Photography Community (natgeoyourshot), a great "school of photography". Since then, I’ve been awarded in various competitions such as The International Photography Awards, Prix de la Photographie de Paris, Vienna International Photo Award, Budapest International Foto Awards, IPPOTY, Better Photography Magazine, Finalist in Head On Photo Awards, Tokyo International Awards & my work has been exhibited in many cities around the world such as N.Y, Paris, Milan, Sydney, Minneapolis, Athens, Tbilisi. …
