Arsineh Valladian, Photographer
Someone recently reminded me about my lifetime passion for photography. It somehow got lost in the mix of iphones and family life. A new camera fell into my hands, and with it opportunities to dust off my passion, so here we go.

Looking for something?
This is a work in progress at the moment as I comb through my archives. I welcome any inquiries, but please keep in mind, my works are not ready for anything beyond viewing at this stage.
About the work
Exploration
Many of the photos taken around the world were captured during my personal travels with a keen interest of capturing the essence of each destination. Many of these photos have been sitting on a hard drive and never saw the light of day.
Portrait
Through the years, many artists and entrepreneurs have contracted me to take portrait shots for promotional purposes. While these images are not for sale, they are worthy of sharing as many were taken in beautiful settings from Colorado and New York City to Tuscany and Athens. Enjoy.
Product
Again as a service to clients through the years, I have photographed products for professional purposes and enjoyed the end result of many of these projects, which I’m happy to share for the visual aspect.
Documentary
Between the Diaspora, Armenia and Artsakh, my early instincts told me to document and capture the moments surrounding me in order to tell the story of Armenians around the world and the experiences we have faced, both positive and negative.
