An artist meet and greet will be held March 26 from 5 -7 pm at a cozy reception at M Street Coffee with Bobby Aazami, the talented photographer who has brilliantly captured these one-of-a-kind moments in music history.
Bobby’s love for the visual medium was fostered at an early age in his native Iran after watching his first episode of The 6 Million Dollar Man on television. Enamored with what he watched on his TV set, Bobby explored his love for the arts by trying his hand at every creative medium from music production to stand up comedy, until he found utter bliss through the lens of a camera.
Bobby spent 4 years abroad in Haifa, Israel during which time he was mentored in photography by a seasoned and well-known photographer, Ruhi Varqa (www.Varqa.com). During that time, Bobby learned to capture the profound beauty of Mediterranean landscapes and the silent moments of the people who inhabit them. The relationship between people and their environments kindled Bobby’s childhood love for story-telling and characters, and ultimately toward documentary film making. Bobby returned to the States and earned a BFA in Film and Video with a concentration in Documentary Cinematography from Chicago’s Columbia College.
Bobby has since worked on photo-journalistic projects which have taken him to places such as South Africa where he used his photography to document and raise awareness on the HIV epidemic. He has also worked as a set photographer on a series of features and short films, as a music photographer who has captured the refined moments in portraiture, concerts and the recording process of some of his favorite artists and lastly, as an event photographer who incorporates his love and artistry for the documentary aesthetic to capture the subtle and unguarded moments of life’s celebrations.
