📕 My Batumi photo guide

40 places to shoot and 40 places to eat afterwards, all with a map and addresses — plus a few secret spots.

LIGHT

The first studio in Batumi with a corner cyclorama and characterful lighting. Works for shoots and for workshops alike.

Price:

small room 70 ₾/hour, large room 85 ₾/hour

This is where I shoot most often.

Price:

70 ₾/hour

Address:

13T David Aghmashenebeli St

Orent — a 6×6×6 cyclorama

The only full-size cyclorama in Batumi: 180°, two corners and the floor, with a parquet working area in front of it. Basic lighting — two strobes on stands — is included. There are three more rooms on site and the rental gear is next door.

Price:

100 ₾/hour weekdays before 17:00, 130 ₾/hour evenings and weekends, an eight-hour day from 640 ₾

Address:

109 Bagrationi St, third floor

Hours:

daily 09:00–22:00

A booking is confirmed with a 50 ₾ deposit, which counts towards the rental.

Orent — camera and lighting rental

Cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, gimbals and grip. The whole stock sits on their own premises, so during a studio shoot you can grab something in five minutes. They deliver around the city, free on orders over 200 ₾. Catalogue prices are per day and booking is over WhatsApp.

Address:

109 Bagrationi St, third floor

Hours:

daily 09:00–22:00

Rental Batumi

Photo and video rental: lenses, lighting, filters, audio, gimbals and sliders, stands, memory cards and small accessories. The stock is laid out in their pinned stories, and price and dates are agreed by direct message.

KALA PRINT

Photo, poster and general printing, done quickly and carefully.

Address:

39 Luka Asatiani St

I print here myself and recommend it.

Zoom service and Igor — repairs

Phones and laptops are fixed at Zoom service in Tbilisi. Cameras and difficult cases go to Igor.

Zoom service:

1 Akaki Tsereteli St, ground level, unit 19; 15:00–18:00

Igor:

Tbilisi only, by arrangement

There is effectively nowhere in Batumi to fix a camera — everyone takes them to Igor.
