Internationally renown photographer Nigel Barker visited the Georgian capital of Tbilisi to take pictures for Mimeo Photos, a free app for macOS.
He wrote on his Instagram and Facebook pages on July 31 that he would be going live "from this ancient city in Georgia doing a photo walk that you can join me on via Mimeo Photos IG Stories, as I discover a city I’ve never been to before".
The whole city is steeped in such great history, beautiful architecture juxtaposed with severe Soviet design which by itself could be considered ugly but actually here it becomes a part of the narrative and has its own stark beauty too", he further wrote.
Mimeo Photos also shared some of Nigel Barker's photos captured in Tbilisi, saying his whole journey is available in their IG Stories as well.
The Russian state reaction to Tbilisi protests has caused even wider public solidarity among the local population against the Russian occupation.
A social campaign under the hashtag #VisitGeorgia and #SpendYourSummerinGeorgia started in Georgia in which Georgians as well as foreign visitors share their personal experience of travelling in the country and inviting everyone to support the tourism industry by travelling to Georgia this year.
