Natela Grigalashvili (b. 1965, Georgia) is a self-taught documentary photographer. Her lens primarily focuses on various regions of Georgia. With remarkable sensitivity and delicacy, she captures the everyday lives, traditions, and customs of local communities. At the same time, she unintentionally becomes a chronicler of the profound social and cultural transformations taking place around her.

Grigalashvili’s work has been exhibited both in Georgia and abroad. She is a recipient of the Alexander Roinishvili Prize, and in 2023 she was listed among the finalists of the Leica Oskar Barnack Award. Her photographs have been published in such outlets as The New York Times, National Geographic, Der Spiegel, Stern, and others.
