Ramyar Manouchehrzadeh:
Founder and Photographer
As a professional photography studio, We possess approximately fifteen years of work experience in several photographic projects including portrait, architectural, advertising, product and artistic.
As academic people and artist, Our major concern in photography is its aesthetic aspects and photo impact on audience. Our relative success in artistic projects (participating various important photo exhibitions) indicates this attitude quite well. Techniques of photography are our other key concern; because We believe photography is an art dependant on using instruments and technique perfectly.
