Giorgi Nadiradze (გიორგი ნადირაძე) born on December 4th 1993 in Georgia, Tbilisi (საქართველო, თბილისი) is self taught Photographer. His interest in Photography began in his early childhood (at the age of 8 years old) when he discovered old soviet photo slide viewer which had a lens and a film slide inside of it. He would keep looking inside of those and wonder how did they work, later his grandparents gave him their Polaroid camera, and at the age of 10 he would be using his Smartphone to take pictures. at the age of 14 he moved to Cyprus with his mother, where he got his first Digital SLR camera and he would be walking around city (Nicosia) and take pictures of people and places. He then bought Film Camera (MINOLTA XG-1) to further gain his knowledge and experiment with it. He would watch video tutorials and documentaries about photographers and photography. Once he submitted his picture in local small Photography contest and one of his pictures won an award, at that time he was youngest of all contestants (16 years old). He went to ALEXANDER COLLEGE to study Photogaphy but due to his nature he did not finish it and left from second year. He continues taking pictures as much as he can but not professionally. His love and passion for photography is incredible. He is working full time job to support his family but occasionally does some freelance work.
