Amir Azari is a professional photographer with more than 13 years of experience. His work covers Advertising, Beauty and Fashion photography for commercial clients. He assisted various artists in different countries and then gradually started to work as an independent professional photographer.
Amir sees photography as a means of expressing his mental revelations through the language of image, and therefore, he likes to make a photo rather than take it. His belief is that his camera is the least important tool for that purpose. What makes a professional photographer is creativity combined with skill, style and of course, insight. He sees the world through different eyes, and then represents it in an innovative and engaging way.
A huge believer in self-evaluation, self-elevations and self-actualization, Amir is always eager to learn, and to submit his works in different competitions. As a result, he’s acquired many technical skills and won a number of international awards. In-Studio, Portrait, High-Speed and Outdoor Photography as well as Lighting Setups, Retouch and Post Production are Amir’s areas of expertise.
