MARIA SADOYAN, Age 35, has spent much time photographing orphanages during her time as a communication specialist for World Vision Armenia. “Photography was always part of my job – and the best part of it,” she says. “I realized that what I am really interested in is documenting people’s lives and their conflict with reality.” She is currently working on a series of portraits of Armenian artists, as well as documenting the lives of families, particularly children, who were deprived of basic needs.
