I am a photographer. Medium-format portraits for beauty, fashion, and the private face.

Frames I made in the studio. Hover a photograph for the note; tap to open it.

The photographer

I work with one light, and time

I am Tomaj Sharabiani, a portrait photographer. I shoot medium format in a small room — one light, one face, enough silence for the expression to settle into something true.

My work lives between beauty and character. Fashion notes without the noise, private portraits without the pose. I print with a Hasselblad rebate because the camera is part of the sentence, not a footnote.

I take a limited number of sittings each season: beauty editorials, personal portraits, and private series.
