Garik Avanesian, MFIAP
Traveler, photographer, curator, and publisher
For more than four decades, my lens has been documenting stories that remain hidden beneath the surface. My work is a lifelong record of raw humanity – from the grueling toil of industrial labor to the silent, vanishing rituals in the most remote corners of the world.
As the long-standing President of the Czech Federation of Photographic Art (ČFFU) and founder of PhotoART magazine, I have dedicated my career to promoting photography as a medium that needs no words. Holding the MFIAP title, as the only photographer in the Czech Republic, is a commitment to the highest standards in everything I do – from publishing my own books to curating exhibitions.
Today, I channel these years of experience into my publications and international photography workshops. My expeditions are more than just travel; they are opportunities to find one’s own photographic voice in the world’s most remote and authentic locations.
