Each photograph has a story.

Tatiana Avdjiev

Tatiana Avdjiev (Northwestern University, BA & MSC) is a visual communicator who works with the art of photography. In search of new methods to show the human presence in today's reality, Avdjiev focuses on people's interaction with the environment and spaces, which incite the viewer to make new personal associations.

Her photos directly respond to the surrounding environment and use the artist's everyday experiences to tell a story. Her images are often about human contact with nature, urban spaces, and essential living elements.

I love the little moments.
Not necessarily the beautiful ones in the traditional meaning, but the ones that spread beauty with their existence. These moments inspire me to freeze them in a frame and prolong them forever.

I love the story behind each photograph.
No matter how many photos I take, I remember the time and setting for each of those moments and why that made me take it.

I love human interaction.
The glance, the smile, the tear. Posed or spontaneous, I look for the things that make us human. Emotions, places, and times that are rarely ever the same. That’s what you’ll see in my photographs.

Showing character and genuine personality is one of my main intentions when I photograph people. I want to tell their story and portray them in a way to make their images speak.
