| Yervant Zanazanian M.Photog.,
Fellow AIPP
An Armenian born in Ethiopia, now lives in Melbourne (Australia).
Yervant's claim to fame really belongs to his
art form: his photography.
He is one of Australia's most awarded photographers.
His style of work is recognized and identified by his unique characteristic
of capture, his subjects all look extremely "comfortable",
having lots of fun and yet looking very glamorous, a direct result
of his very calm and yet friendly and fun personality which automatically
will relax even the most nervous subject in front of his camera.
Yervant is now recognized as one of the top 10 Professional wedding
Photographers of the world. This great respect is from the direct
recognition of his peers and professional photographers worldwide.
Yervant won his very first photography award
at age 11 in Ethiopia. His father (also photographer) entered a
landscape image by Yervant into a photographic competition, by surprise
to all, the author was revealed to be an 11 year old Yervant!
Yervant spent all his childhood free time after
school and on holidays in his father's photographic lab, printing,
experimenting and learning on the job. He then lived and studied
in Venice (Italy), followed by further formal studies in Photography
at the Melbourne Photographic Studies College (Australia).
