About Me
Amir was born in Tehran, Iran. From early on, He demonstrated tremendous interest in music and art. He immigrated to Canada when he was 12. At the age of 15 he seriously pursued photography. He started photographing using digital format but subsequently started experimenting with film due to his interest in square format. His art of photography portrays the vintage form and inspires an antique perception, which has been acclaimed by many in the field. Amir is now studying photography at Ryerson University in Canada.
