An opening that made us forget everything around us

Georgia Fashion Week - Season 5 of Was ceremoniously opened in Tbilisi, at one of the city's most elegant locations: Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace – ში. The honor of opening the fashion show was given to the model, Aleksandra Paichadze, Whose confident steps were followed not only by the camera’s gaze but also by the silence and anticipation that filled the room.

This black-and-white frame, which you see in this blog, is not just a representation of a fashion moment for me, but also The power of documentary photography For example, the model’s appearance, the gracefulness of movement, and the dramatic style awaken the power of imagination.

Tinatin Magalashvili – a designer who gives classic a new sound.

Tinatin Magalashvili collection It was refined and tasteful. Her dresses stood out with bold construction, a modern style, and an interpretation of classic forms. Aleksandra Paichadze The dress combined a sharp silhouette, bare shoulders, rich texture, and white floral details that stood out especially strikingly in the black-and-white photo.

For the designer, details are of utmost importance, and this is reflected in each of her designs. Her style is not just clothing - it is an emotion that becomes a tangible thing.

Photography experience from the podium

My goal as a professional photographer Georgia Fashion Week Was not only to capture aesthetics, but to accurately and authentically document each moment.
A photographer’s place on the runway is constantly changing - light sources shift, models’ movements are unpredictable, and as a documentary-style photographer, you must stay focused at all times.

I chose the black-and-white frame specifically to convey the emotional contrast I felt in that moment - simple elegance, the power held in silence, and the purest form of fashion as art.

A space that speaks the language of fashion

Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace It is not only an important location for Tbilisi but also a key venue for fashion and cultural events across the entire region. The space provides ideal conditions: high-quality lighting, technical infrastructure, refined interior design, and an incredible atmosphere.

The runway was shiny and mirror-like, which gave me the additional opportunity to use symmetry and reflections optically. This location turned into a truly enjoyable experience for the photographer..

Aleksandra Paichadze - the face of modern modeling.

Aleksandra Confident steps, an elegant expression, and her natural presence in the frame all point to her belonging to modern fashion. As a photographer, when you see a model who commands the runway - rather than being led by it - you have the opportunity to create not just a photo, but a historic image..

The role of the photographer in the fashion industry

Fashion photography, especially when it comes to the runway, is not just about capturing aesthetically pleasing images — it is a documentary record within the world of art.
The model’s movement, the rustle of silk, the frozen second while waiting for the light - the photographer must always be ready to capture that fleeting moment in time.

Only photography that goes beyond the moment and conveys its mood to the viewer is truly valuable. For me, this shot is exactly that.

Conclusion: When fashion and photography come together in one space

Georgia Fashion Week – Season 5 For me there was a place where photography, design and human emotion merged together.
Thank you Tinatin Magalashvili and the entire team for this opportunity. It was a great honor to be part of the show’s opening moment and to serve as the photo documentarian of this special story.
