The girl
I didn't change the setting of my camera, i just estimated the time that they may arrive down, in the camera frame! I just pressed the shutter button, 10, 9, 8, 7....3, 2, 1 and shoot! And this is the result. The time estimation worked very well! The gesture of the girl in my frame was a big surprise for me, I never talked to her and i don't know why she showed such a gesture, maybe when she scared when she saw me. Also lucky because her friend was back and not in the frame!
While living in Georgia and working in a media art studio, I became interested in photography. Initially, I began taking pictures of my surroundings with my phone’s camera. After a while, I pursued the field of photography with a professional camera, and with my brother’s support, I began to learn and advance in this profession in a self-instructive manner. Since I consider the world around me from a realistic perspective, my photography subjects are affected by this viewpoint. Hence, first in the context of street photography and portraits and later in documentary photography, I began to record the grief, happiness, social actions, and problems in my surrounding community. Within two years of entering the world of professional photography, I have attained several awards and achievements in various international competitions, including the International Photography Award (IPA), Monochrome Photography Awards, The Independent Photographer, ND awards, Monovisions Photography Awards, All About Photo Awards, and more. Moreover, I have exhibited my work in several countries, including the United States, Greece, Germany, and Hungry.
I am currently working on several art-photography combination projects in a modern style, which are slightly different from my previous works.

entry description
Here is a public place, an underground (from communist era) in Tbilisi, the capital of the country of Georgia. I set the timer of my camera (on 10 seconds) to go and stand on the stairs because i like to have alive element in my photos. Everything was ready, suddenly I heard a sound. A girl with her friend were coming toward the stairs. I decided to take their photos, more natural maybe!I didn't change the setting of my camera, i just estimated the time that they may arrive down, in the camera frame! I just pressed the shutter button, 10, 9, 8, 7....3, 2, 1 and shoot! And this is the result. The time estimation worked very well!
