Kolga Tbilisi Photo The Embrace of Photography

Each year in May, the Georgian capital Tbilisi hosts a week-long festival of photography that, over the past twenty-three years, has grown to become one of the largest and best-known cultural events in the wider region. Its name, Kolga Tbilisi Photo, reflects the openness and inclusivity of the festival: ‘kolga’ being a Georgian word meaning umbrella. The program embraces many different approaches to photography, from the traditional to the most technologically advanced, in imagery created by local and international artists. Indeed, embrace is a word that well captures both its programming and the essential character. For this is a festival that opens its arms and its heart to all who share a passion for photography and the curiosity to explore the many ideas that images can evoke.

To learn more about Kolga Tbilisi Photo, Talking Pictures reached out to director and founder Beso Khaindrava.

Landscape On My Father by Lorenzo Mangialardi @lorenzo_mangialardi Lorenzo Mangialardi has been one of the mobile photographers shortlisted at the @kolgatbilisiphoto awards 2017 in the category Mobile Series. His Landscape series play with the meaning of landscape in general. For Mangialardi a landscape is not what we might expect traditionally - a piece of nature- no it's more an emotional approach to the term itself he applies in his photographs. Thanks to Lorenzo for submitting. It's always a pleasure to have you on board! ❤ #thesmartview #featured #lorenzomangialardi #mobilephotography #kolgatbilisiphoto #fotografiaitaliana #iphoneography #mobiography #photographyeveryday ##photography #igers_italia #Bari #diewocheaufinstagram #magazine #Indiemags #colorphotography #Italia #outofthephone (at Bari, Italy)

#Featured from our #hashtags: Landscape of Freedom by @lorenzo_mangialardi - Extract from the project Landscapes shortlisted for the @kolgatbilisiphoto award 2017. 'I started the project in 2012. At the beginning I photographed many people on the train, I took home from university. But, when I graduated I came down from the trains and I decided to walk around the streets. I call it 'Landscapes' because it I believe that a landscape is not only the natural one. I believe that a child watching out of the window is a landscape; a street lamp turned on at night is a landscape. I do not create reportage; I do not tell stories. I think that every single image can tell its own story. The only thing that binds together all the images is the photographic language, some gestures, the whites, the blacks and the light. Georges Brassens, the legendary French singer said: 'Á la compagne de voyage / Dont les yeux, charmant paysage'.'
