Photographer

I am a writer, producer, designer, and editor with over 20 years of experience. I produce award-winning podcasts and short series fiction, and edit a select few others.

The majority of my experience was gained on the job, working for LGBTQ media in Washington D.C. At the Washington Blade, I learned layout and taught myself how to edit video and hold a camera. At Metro Weekly, I learned photography and decided to start my first podcast.

I can produce anything—digital or print—that you or your brand needs.

I am a videographer / photographer who spent 15 years capturing images for Metro Weekly and the Washington Blade.

Who Digs It

Aram has provided both video and photography services for our productions that are designed for an audience of young children. He was able to capture the joy and whimsy of our work in a way that is unparalleled. To this day, some of my favorite images from our productions are ones that Aram photographed. He was instrumental in our growth as a company and truly helped us put forth a professional image to both funders and patrons. I highly recommend him and his work!

Arts on the Horizon

Aram has created all my web and print design for my company Design Up, LLC. He has been and continues to be amazing. His creativity and vision is unmatched. His insight on what will get results and what will not has been right on target and an invaluable asset. I simply would not have had the success that I have had without Aram's amazing talent. I highly recommend him for all your visual needs.
