I create visual stories for people, brands, and cultural projects that value not only aesthetics, but also meaning and emotional connection. In a world where much can be constructed, authenticity becomes especially important — attention to details, people, and environments that shape a sense of reality. My practice is rooted in a documentary approach, which implies a respectful presence within what is happening, unobtrusive observation, and working with real people and real processes. I’m based in Batumi and work in Georgia and internationally.
FOR PEOPLE
My work is an immersion into your world and a careful, attentive observation, allowing me to capture not only your state of being, but also the context in which you exist. This becomes a layered document of a period in life and the environment that shapes your everyday reality or your family’s life.
At the heart of the narrative may be a personal story, relationships between people, or a passion that matters to you. The result is a cohesive visual story in which the person remains at the center of the narrative.
FOR BRANDS
I work with brands and cultural initiatives — craft-based businesses, gastronomic projects, and cultural or educational initiatives — that value telling their story honestly and consistently: showing people at work and revealing processes from the inside. A documentary perspective makes it possible to create visual material that strengthens a project’s identity and builds trust and recognition — without marketing pressure.
These are not generic images, but a communication tool with your audience and a way to convey the uniqueness of your brand. For this reason, the approach remains flexible and adapts to the company’s style, its character, and specific goals.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH
A distinct strand of my practice is visual research of environments:communities, places, neighborhoods, and urban or cultural phenomena.Within this practice, photography may be combined with methods from ethnography and sociology — long-term observation, contextual research, interviews, and text.
What matters most is a careful presence within the environment and the building of relationships with people, rather than the mere recording of external features.This format is suited to media outlets, cultural institutions, as well as research and educational initiatives, where visual material becomes part of a broader analytical and narrative framework.
FORMAT
The work begins with dialogue: defining the project’s purpose and the structure of the visual narrative. Based on this, I propose a shooting format — from a single day of observation to a series of meetings or a long-term project. In addition to images, projects may also include texts and interviews when they are essential to the integrity of the story.
