FREE MASTER CLASSES FOR ARMENIAN PHOTOGRAPHERS
On September 26, a regular film session was held at Naregatsi Art Union. The spectators watched "Through Lenses" British film that dwelt on the best ten photographers of the world. After the film session Hrayr Baze, Kanadian-Armenian photographer, delivered a lecture on the peculiarities of the art of photography. Hrayr Baze has been working as a photographer for over 15 years. He released six albums of his photographs, including "Karabakh," Western Armenia," "Naked Girls" and others.
"Karabakh" album was released in 1992. It dwelt on the Artsakh war and included documentary photos of the Armenian freedom fighter, destroyed churches and cross stones. Later, he shot the newer history of liberated Artsakh, Shushi and Stepanakert under reconstruction.
"Hovering Baze" album is a great contribution to the history of the Armenian people. The album includes photos of the churches and cross stones that are in the verge of destruction. Hrayr Baze stated that the art of photography is not at a satisfactory level in Armenia, there are not many skilled photographers in here. Perhaps, that's why Hrayr Baze in collaboration with Naregatsi Art Union is going to deliver free master classes for the Armenian photographers. "We are going to talk about the art of photography, discuss photos and organize expeditions. We have drawback in the Armenian photo art, and we should get rid of them," he said.
This is a serious attempt to contribute to the development of the art of photography in Armenia. But Hrayr Baze has other projects, too. Next year he is going to open a photography school in Artsakh and pass his knowledge to the younger generation.
