It's like going on a hunt, but it's a mutual hunt. Creating a pathway to delve into the inner world of a person, where all the facets lie that aren't always visible. Revealing what is hidden, what is in the darkness.
Through the camera, I feel the heartbeat of the other person. It's a strange and simultaneously fascinating feeling. We all merge together. The poetry, inner beauty, and truth, the pain, hope, and struggle - often against ourselves.The photos that are created at the end of the day are always a symbiosis. A conglomerate of many facets and a document that carries a whole world history within it - from its creation to this moment.
The human fascinates me, and I enjoy going on this soul hunt. During the process, I lose all connection to reality. I feel surrounded by demons and magical forces. I capture one image after another, and the spirit reveals itself momentarily.
It's beautiful, so beautiful that I can't put it into words, and it's impossible to photograph. What remains is an emotion that can be seen in the pictures. Most of it still remains hidden in the darkness, where it belongs. I hold my camera in my hand, a lifeless device that comes alive in that moment.
About me
I was born and raised in an artistic family in Armenia. My father owned one of the most renowned photography studios in our hometown, and it was there that I developed a deep appreciation for the medium. However, my true passion has always been film especially directing and storytelling.
After earning a degree in History, I enrolled at the Yerevan University of Theatre and Film to study film directing. A year later, I made the decision to leave and move to Germany to pursue my dream of exploring European cinema more deeply and continuing my education.
I draw immense inspiration from cinema poets like Bergman, Antonioni, and Tarkovsky—filmmakers I admire for their depth, subtlety, and uncompromising vision. Today, I split my time between Berlin and Los Angeles, where I continue to study and develop my creative practice, with a particular focus on Photography, Design and Writing.
