I don’t photograph performance — I photograph presence. For me, photography is the moment in which a person remains themselves.No posing, no roles, no tension. I’m interested in feelings, the quiet between movements — what appears when there’s no need to be “the right way.” I look for living truth — in the eyes, in the breath, in natural beauty without retouching.The inner world matters more than the external image. The camera, for me, is a way to see a person, not to create them. For over twenty years, photography has been more than a profession — it's my language, my meditation, my way of feeling and communicating with the world. I’m drawn to portrait, art, and street photography. And black-and-white holds a special place in my heart. When color fades, emotion emerges — raw, unfiltered, and true. Light and shadow become the breath of the image. I'm not after perfection — I'm after authenticity. A fleeting glance, the rhythm of the street, the tension between stillness and movement — it’s in these quiet moments that photography comes alive. For me, it's a journey through time. I stop it — only to let it breathe again. Faces, eyes, subtle gestures — they are reflections of the soul. And in monochrome, these stories speak louder. Photography, for me, is always a dialogue with the unseen — an intuitive search for inner truth. In 2025, my work was nominated for the international "Kolga Tbilisi Photo" 2025 contest — a meaningful recognition that affirmed I am walking my path. A path of observation, feeling, and visual storytelling from the inside out.
