In 2019, I moved to Armenia. The collection of photographs I present on this page is a small selection of images I have taken during my time here, drawn from a larger body of work. I did not want to portray a country that is usually approached from its most familiar perspectives. Instead, I chose to dedicate my time to capturing lesser-known scenes, sometimes abstract, sometimes more social in nature.

These are images I captured during my walks around the country, while attending events, or while working on documentary projects I was involved in during my time here. The intention was and still is to know more about the country
The photography collection I intend to present also includes several shots from the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh for the armenians) war. It features images from Stepanakert, Shushi, and Dadivank, where I traveled to document the very first and the final days of the conflict.
Today, my goal is to turn all of this into a book that can tell the story in a different way, bringing to light aspects I haven’t been able to find in other works I’ve had the chance to explore and come to know. This is the country I live in, and the one I want to keep telling, always.
I've received your message and will get back to you shortly.
