About me

I’m Sofi Barkaya — a photographer and violist based in Tbilisi.

With 17 years of experience in photography and 24 years in music, I see stories through rhythm, feeling and the quiet details between moments. Music has shaped the way I observe people: I listen for emotion, notice the pauses and look for what feels honest.

I photograph weddings, portraits and love stories with a focus on natural light, genuine connection and images that feel true to you. My approach is calm and personal — I offer gentle guidance when it helps, while leaving space for your natural expressions.

Every session is built around your story. My goal is to create photographs that are not only beautiful, but that bring you back to how the moment felt.
