Every picture of unequaled master of light and shadow Andranik Kochar represents a photo structure, which is saturated with a combination of light shadows and soft lights. His portraits are so alive, conspicuous, modern and emotional, that they seem to be alive, breathing and living beings. In each photo he revealed the inner world of people of different fields and their way of thinking; the thing he liked to do most of all.
