Urbex Tours in Armenia – Photo Gallery

The photos you see below were taken during the urbex tours I organize across Armenia while exploring Soviet-era heritage.

Over the years, I’ve learned one important lesson. I don’t use an expensive or professional camera. What truly improved my photography was returning to the same places and photographing the same subjects again and again over a long period of time. Little by little, my photos became better.

Another key moment was learning to shoot through the viewfinder instead of using the screen. I had always relied on the display — until I accidentally broke it. That small accident pushed me to use the viewfinder, and it ended up improving my photography more than any piece of equipment ever did.
