I started photography because I was afraid of forgetting moments.

What began as curiosity slowly became a way of understanding people, their demeanor and stories. Growing up in post-Soviet Georgia and later moving across different countries and continents shaped the way I observe the world — quietly, attentively, and emotionally.

My work is deeply inspired by cinema, travel, natural light, and everyday life. I’m drawn to imperfect moments: reflections in windows, long drives, strangers in quiet light, the atmosphere of cities at night, and the intimacy of human connection.

Whether I’m photographing a wedding, a portrait, or life unfolding on the street, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel honest, lived-in, and timeless rather than overly staged.

I currently photograph between Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia, while continuing personal documentary projects through travel and street photography across the United States.
