About Artist

Vakhtang Egiazarov

Hello! I'm Vakhtang Egiazarovi, also known as Vakho FX – the unrivaled creator of your moments. Photography for me is more than just a profession; it's a 17-year journey, a constant search for light, emotion, and inspiration. My camera isn't just a technical device; it's an extension of my eyes, through which I perceive the world and create deeply resonant images. My Photographic Vision I particularly enjoy capturing portraits, weddings, and crowded events, where spontaneous emotions and human stories come alive. I'm also passionate about food photography, where attention to detail is crucial. In my work, black and white art, nature, and everything that awakens my muse hold a special place. For me, each frame is not merely an image, but a means of storytelling that withstands the test of time and evokes strong emotions. I've had several personal exhibitions that received media coverage, and I actively participate in various group exhibitions both in Georgia and abroad to showcase my work to the public. My Experience and Achievements Throughout this extensive journey, I've not only created photographs but also shared my knowledge with others. I've conducted numerous masterclasses in photography and taught aspiring photographers the practical handling of a camera. I've also published a manual that meticulously describes the practical operation of a camera. I've taught at prestigious educational institutions such as the Mediator training center, the Georgian-American School, and Gauss University, as well as various other educational centers. My passion for street photography is reflected in my vlog, where I approach random people and conduct spontaneous photo sessions. As part of this project, I've filmed in all major cities of Georgia, as well as in Armenia, Spain, Poland, and Italy, to create unique stories and faces. Articles about my work have been published in magazines, and I've been a guest on several television programs. Recognition and Awards My work and talent have been recognized multiple times at both national and international levels: · I am the 1st place winner of the National Photo Contest "Evtikhi" 2024. International photo competition GOLDEN TIME TALENT 2025 where I submitted 3 photos and all three won 1st place. · I am the 2nd place winner of IAAP (Association of Art Photographers - TheIAAP.com) 2024. · I've been awarded "Persona 2024," a prize for successful Georgian individuals. · I received the international award "THINK LIKE DA VINCI" for my contribution to art. · My photo was recognized as the Photo of the Year 2025 on the Photobalkana platform. Association Memberships I am a proud member of: · The Georgian Photographers Association · The Armenian Photographers Association · The French Street Photography Association · The European Photographers Association EURASIAN ART UNION These memberships further underscore my professionalism and dedication to the industry. If you are looking for a photographer who can emotionally and professionally convey your story, please contact me. I am ready to transform your most significant moments into works of art.
