Get to know Amir, the photographer of Amir Aghareb LLC:

Hi! My name is Amir and I am the owner and photographer of Amir Aghareb LLC.

 

I'm a former architect and a photography professor with more than 10 years of experience in architecture, design, and hospitality photography. 

 

I received a Master of Fine Art with a concentration in Photography from Penn State after getting a Master's degree in Architecture*. I am currently a photography professor at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee, where I teach a variety of classes such as Studio Lighting, Darkroom, and Advanced Photography.

 

I was fortunate to exhibit my photos worldwide and to receive 30 international awards in more than 20 countries such as the USA, UK, France, Italy, Ukraine, Germany, Hong Kong, Russia, Switzerland, Sweden, China, and Argentina. My fine art and commercial architectural photos have been widely published. I was also fortunate to receive international photography distinctions from many organizations including the Royal Photographic Society (England), the International Federation of Photographic Art (Belgium), the Global Photographic Union, and the Photographic Society of America. 

​

My limited liability photography company is registered in Tennessee, but I take on architecture, design, and hospitality photography/videography as well as Art-related documentation projects nationally and internationally.

 

​

What do I do as a fine art photographer?

​

I enjoy taking carefully composed 2D conventional photographs as well as non-conventional work that pushes the usual definition of the medium. Illuminated encapsulated photographs in translucent cubic frames, laser-etched tea-toned cyanotypes of photographs taken by cellphone, heavily composited photographs that question the trustworthiness of a photograph, and works that occupy the space rather than just a part of the wall are some examples of my fine art work.​
