Gia Javelidze, the IDS lecturer for photography and graphic editors, introduced to the students a young Georgian photographer Iva Janezashvili currently residing and working in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Carinthia, Austria. Traveling in Europe, Iva takes portrait, landscape, wildlife and urban photographs on his Nikon D810 and exhibits them extensively, while also participating in the annual World Bodypainting Festival, the most important Klagenfurt event on the international art and photography scene since 1998.

Iva’s workshop was preceded by his illustrated lecture in which he quizzed the IDS students on their knowledge of photography and shared with them some skills of the trade. The workshop itself involved an active IDS student participation.
