Professional Armenian Costume Photo Shoot

Discover Armenia’s vibrant heritage with a professional costume photo shoot in the historic heart of Gyumri. This unique experience invites you into a beautifully preserved 19th-century studio in Kumayri, the city’s oldest neighborhood, where you’ll step into the world of traditional Armenian taraz clothing.

Begin your journey with a warm welcome and a fascinating introduction to the history of both the studio and the Kumayri district. Explore over 20 meticulously recreated costumes from various regions of Armenia as you learn about the stories and symbolism behind each exquisite piece.

Choose your favorite taraz and accessorize with authentic jewelry and props before your professional photo session begins. The 45-minute shoot ensures you capture stunning memories while dressed in these works of art. Afterward, unwind with delicious Armenian teas and sweets in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

The experience continues as you try your hand at trchnagir, a unique Armenian calligraphy form. Select a letter and paint it in the shape of a stylized bird on chiffon or silk, all set to traditional Armenian music. Your personalized artwork is yours to keep, and you’ll receive 10 high-quality photos from your session—five edited and five unedited—delivered within a week.
